Sad Jesus

I saw Jesus just the other day
He was wearin' a sad, sad face
Tears were streamin' down his cheeks
And he was grinding his teeth

I said "what's wrong?"
But he didn't respond
I said "cheer up"
"Don't you ever give up"

We watched the sun go down
He reached out to hold my hand
I reached out both arms wide
Hugged him and pulled him close

I said "what's wrong?"
But he didn't respond
I said "cheer up"
"Don't you ever give up"

He saw more than one sun setting
Each star going down somewhere
Weight of the universe on his shoulders
Each star a forgotten dream

I said "what's wrong?"
But he didn't respond
I said "cheer up"
"Don't you ever give up"

He couldn't find a rhyme or reason
That he should listen to me
Tears streamed down his cheeks
As the day turned dark

I said "what's wrong?"
But he didn't respond
I said "cheer up"
"Don't you ever give up"
