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 



(Repeat Chorus)
