[Verse] He goes down to the church to play the organ Though his eyes don't see the notes He lets his fingers do the walking In a sanctuary of smokes With his soul on the ropes [Chorus] He plays on, playin' the truth When he plays, I think I see God He plays on, layin' it down With a love that won't let me go [Verse 2] Now, this man isn't blind He's got the sight But it doesn't come from the optic nerve His sight comes from inside He's got the sight of faith That's a whole 'nother kind His sight is the kind that don't require eyes [Chorus] He plays on, playin' the truth When he plays, I think I see God He plays on, layin' it down With a love that won't let me go He plays on, layin' it down With a love that won't let me go [Bridge] A faith as firm as the Mississippi's strong With a flow as slow and steady as the Amazon Faith, a light that shines on and on and on and on And on and on and on [Chorus] He plays on, playin' the truth When he plays, I think I see God He plays on, layin' it down With a love that won't let me go He plays on, layin' it down With a love that won't let me go [Outro] He plays on He plays on
