Based on Matthew 25:35-48 |
|
Another day in |
|
Nigeria the children beg for bread, |
|
The crops failed, the well ran dry |
|
When they lost the watershed |
|
A baby dies, its mother cries, the children gather 'round |
|
They're wondering what the day will bring |
|
Will they be the next one found? (Chorus) |
|
Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes? |
|
Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes, |
|
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes? |
|
In the crowded sheds the children lay their heads |
|
To escape the |
|
Haitian heat |
|
The hunger pains drive them to the street |
|
Wond'ring if today they'll eat |
|
Some find food in the refuse heap, others find disease |
|
Some find it harder just to live when they can die with ease. |
|
The least of these is hungry. |
|
The least of these is sick. |
|
The least of these needs clothing. |
|
The least of these needs drink. |
|
The least of these knows sorrow. |
|
The least of these knows grief. |
|
The least of these has suffered pain, and |
|
Jesus is His name. (2nd Chorus) |
|
Do you dare to gaze into |
|
His hollow eyes, hollow eyes? |
|
Is He staring back at you with |
|
His hollow eyes, |
|
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes? |
|
Again, the lyrics to this song are different than what is printed inside the cover, especially in the chorus. |
|
I wrote what is actually sung on the album. |
