Jesus

What's the reason

For these scars that will never heal

Hearts that no longer feel

Eyes that can no longer see



Jesus

What's the reason

For this child that will not survive

With all her dreams inside

Could she mean nothing to thee



And jesus please tell me if you can recall

Just where you were when this sparrow did fall



Jesus

What's the reason

Every tear isn't weighed the same

Could you have died in vain

If we have short memories



And jesus would you then come down from your cross

Return every nail and say we are lost



And in the dark we seek your silent company

For each hope that arrives and fades from memory

Still after all this time our loss you won't concede

For in the dead of night the rumor is

Your hands they still bleed

Still bleed

Still bleed

Still bleed



Jesus

It would seem then

That somehow you still trust

You have more faith than us

Perhaps that is how it should be
