I see your face


I see your face
Every day on the street
I know who you are
But never do we meet
 
You are a foreigner to me
With circumstances so strange
I wouldn’t know how to relate
Settings would have to change
 
Then one God-ordained day
My path merges into yours
I get to see you who you are
And live the life that’s yours
 
We spend time together
I get to see your dreams
I know your hopes and plans
And the way that life seems
 
But then the truth comes out
Our paths have to divide
I must go to my house
In my security abide
 
I leave you in the place
The place that you call home
I go to my sterile house
And I leave you all alone
 
Alone in the pain
The confusion and the striving
I leave you in that place
Alone in all your fighting
 
I want to reach out
To help you in some way
But I’m stuck in my life
The responsibilities of today
 
I will pray for you
As well as I know how
I will love you too
I know God is in you now
 
So I say goodbye
Goodbye to you today
I pray your life gets better
And you find God on the way
