They saw the face of Jesus on the side of a tree They were kneeling in the front yard I watched it on tv I heard about a statue that's supposed to cry real tears People came from miles around and bought some souvenirs | |
They saw the face of Jesus out on a highway sign Through the meatballs and spaghetti His image was entwined I heard somebody saw him on an icebox door When it defrosted it wasn't there no more | |
What about the old man down in the alley way Nobody seems to give a damn much less kneel down and pray They just see an outcast someone who rides for free But they saw the face of Jesus on the side of a tree | |
They saw the face of Jesus on the side of a tree It looked just like that singer From Three Dog Night to me If it was really Jesus I know He'd understand I'm just looking for the answer through the eyes of a man | |
What about the homeless, the hungry and the lame The hookers and the junkies, the children without names There's so many faceless people nobody ever sees But they saw the face of Jesus on the side of a tree They saw the face of Jesus on the side of a tree |
