Jesus came to my birthday party
When I was seventeen

I thought it was a dream
But I know I seen him standing there
With his long hair

I know I seen him there

That was a long time ago

And I haven't seen him in a while
Now I'm down in the city
And I think I seen him in the eyes

Of the strangers that pass
In the eyes of the poor


Jesus came to my birthday party
When I was seventeen
It was a long time ago


Jesus came to my birthday party
When I was seventeen

It was a long time ago

Jesus came to my birthday party

I thought it was a dream
But I know I seen him there


Jesus came to my birthday party
A long time ago
