When Did I See You Cry

Someones child but no ones friend
A city street alone again
Funny how tears dont wash away
Even in December rain

Someones child youd never meet
Merchandise on a darkened street
A painted face with a childs 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

Someones child now half alive
Lives in a bottle just to survive
Had a home and had a wife
Thats a story from a different life

Weve all seen Him a time or two
Hes not all that different from me and you
Hes more than a face or a name
Hes 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 didnt 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

When did I see You cry, oh Lord
When were You all alone
When did I see You so far away from home
