In my life all the strife is getting in the way   Frankly I did not plan on getting hurt today   From Your chair in the clouds   Benevolent are Your ways   While the begger bleeds, the children play   Everyone wants to know why   Isn't it always the question   How do You know my condition?      You came down to me to know what it's like   To know what it's like to hurt   You came down to me to know what it's like   To know just what its like to   Be me, to be us      In the wake of the last decades and centuries past   Who's to blame for this mess?   And who's gonna take the rap?   We're quick to judge and discard   A God who lets us choose whom and what to love   Isn't it always the question?   Do You really know my position?      You came down to me to know what it's like   To know what it's like to hurt   You came down to me to know what it's like   To know just what its like to   Be me, to be us   To be one with the dust and to be lost      You know what its like   to thirst, to bleed   You know what it's like      You came down to me to know what it's like   To know what it's like to hurt   You came down to me to know what it's like   To know just what its like to      You came down   You know just what its like, you know just what its like to hurt   You came down to me   You know just what its like, you know just what its like   To be me, to be us   To be lost to be found
