Deaf Dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad.
Ten years old
With thoughts as bold as thought can be
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
A vague haze of delerium
creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He's dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And His golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.
Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you'll ride.

Review about Amazing Journey Stephen | Reviewer: Stephen | 9/2/09
hmm....This songs lyrics are very odd. Although I've heard this great song many time's I never fully understood it.The melancholy in this song was so understandable to me but that was not the case.This is one of those songs that you will never get but,It may teach you a lesson...At least from the prospective I had saw it from.
Tommy Plotline - Amazing Journey/Sparks | Reviewer: Mike | 2/1/09
Tommy's subconcious reveals itself to him as a tall stranger dressed in silvery robes with a floor length golden beard, and the vision sets him on an internal spiritual jounrey upon which he learns to interpret all physical sensations as music.
What an Amazing Journey! | Reviewer: Peter Maimere | 12/1/08
This song was originally a poem written by Peter Townshend, and is considered the essence of Tommy's story, thus being one of the first songs of the album. It features some ideas from Pete's learning from Meher Baba. Tommy is dumb, deaf and blind, so his "musical dreams" (verse 3) are really made of touching sensations (verse 22), e.g., the bullying from his cousin or the fiddling of his uncle, shown later in the Opera. All these sensations builds Tommy's spiritual growth. One can also compare the silence of Tommy to the silence obtained by the post-war era kids, because parents and grandparents were so hurt in the war that they refused talking about it to these kids. (In fact, this was said by Peter Townshend and others on several documentaries, and I just wrote in other words.) There are other aspects of Tommy (the opera itself) that are not covered in this song, though it's still an important part of it.

Amazing Journey | Reviewer: Tino | 8/8/07
Amazing Journey is part of The Who's first rock opera "Tommy." The protagonist, Tommy, was traumatized earlier in his life and became blind, deaf and dumb. The man in this song is his subconscious, and the amazing journey is a journey to be able to interpret the world as music. The story continues in the song "Sparks."
I want to know what the song means? Like what is the story about and how did you write such a successful work of art!!?
