Eyes wide open he sees them all
He hears every word but does not speak
What are they doing he thinks to himself?
He sees it all, but does not speak
Some are black, some are white
Some are tall, some are short
Some are wide, some are slim
He sees it all, but does not speak
Some hair red, some hair blue
Some hair black, some hair white
Some heads bare, some with hats
He sees it all, but does not speak
Some hug, some shake hands
They all move from place to place
Some sit, some continue to stand
He sees it all, still does not speak
What are they doing, where are they going?
Will they all return the way they came?
Some walk out of the door, they did all not stay
He sees it all, but does not speak
God is beckoning them all to come
Yet they continue out the way they came
Why did they come, if not to stay?
Yes, He sees it all, but still does not speak
