When Did I See You Cry

Someone's child but no one's friend

A city street alone again

Funny how tears don't wash away

Even in December rain

Someone's child you'd never meet

Merchandise on a darkened street

A painted face with a child's eyes

A paradox of sad disguise

When did I see You cry oh Lord

When were You all alone

When did I see You so far away from home

Someone's child now half alive

Lives in a bottle just to survive

Had a home and had a wife

That's a story from a different life

We've all seen him a time or two

He's not all that different from me and you

He's more than a face or a name

He's a reason why You came

When did I see You cry oh Lord

When were You all alone

When did I see You so far away

You say I closed my eyes

You say I closed my heart

I never stopped looking

You say I didn't start

When did I see You cry oh Lord

When were you all alone

When did I see You so far away, so far away, so far away from home
