Look up at that window, Lord, where the old guy is sitting
See, he's half hidden by the curtain that's moving a little in the breeze
That tenement it's a poor place to have to live, isn't it Jesus?
He's seated alone by a kitchen table
And looking blankly out the window
He lives with his sister who's away working all day
There's nothing for him to do
He doesn't have any money
All he has is time
Who's he in my life, Jesus?
What has he got to do with me?
He's your brother and you love him
But what does this say to me, Lord?
I don't know what sense I'm supposed to make out of this
I mean, how can I possibly be responsible in any honest meaningful way for that guy?
He just moved a short bit away from the window
Maybe he moved because he felt my eyes on him from the sidewalk down here
I didn't mean to embarrass him, Lord
I just wanted to let him know somebody understands he's alive
And he's your brother
So he's not alone or lost
Does he know it, Jesus?
See, he's half hidden by the curtain that's moving a little in the breeze
That tenement it's a poor place to have to live, isn't it Jesus?
He's seated alone by a kitchen table
And looking blankly out the window
He lives with his sister who's away working all day
There's nothing for him to do
He doesn't have any money
All he has is time
Who's he in my life, Jesus?
What has he got to do with me?
He's your brother and you love him
But what does this say to me, Lord?
I don't know what sense I'm supposed to make out of this
I mean, how can I possibly be responsible in any honest meaningful way for that guy?
He just moved a short bit away from the window
Maybe he moved because he felt my eyes on him from the sidewalk down here
I didn't mean to embarrass him, Lord
I just wanted to let him know somebody understands he's alive
And he's your brother
So he's not alone or lost
Does he know it, Jesus?
