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)
