lyrics

When you cried when you were born
Were you thinking of the crown of thorns
That would pierce your head when all the world was laughing

Did you know from the very start
Were you born with a broken heart
For a world to blind to see their Savior

Did you wake up in the middle of the night
with dreams of how it would end

Did your mother ever ask you why
Why you seemed preoccupied
And your hands always seemed to be shaking

Did you ever have any fun
Could you ever just kill the time
Or was every second a painful reminder

Every time you heard your dad pound the hammer down
Did it make you cringe at the thought

Did you ever want to run away
Did you ever get down on your knees and pray
Oh Father take this cup away

Wrapped up tightly in your mother's arms
Did you know you’d be rejected and despised
