Lyrics
Verse 1 Well I was visiting a city park the other day Just a moment off the beaten path of life A distraction you might say Well, I was visiting a city park Verse 2 While I was visiting a city park the other day People stood and watched a full grown man just break right down and cry Watching children play Chorus Someone said, Maybe he watched his own child suffer and die along the way Or maybe he cries for his childhood innocence reality erased While I was visiting a city park the other day Verse 3 While I was visiting a city park the other day Someone caught their own reflection in a wishing well then turned and looked away While I was visiting a city park Chorus As if they'd seen the face of failure mocking all they do or say No slim hope it isn't true would make one difference at this stage While I was visiting a city park the other day Bridge And they're compelled to ask that question They feel so ashamed to ask And they know it begs the question Does any good thing last How can a God of love exist and let pure evil Still abound Sometimes the silence is deafening But the answer's in the sound Of that story Where God watched Made himself watch his own son suffer horribly as he died To make that someone clean Chorus And as the Lord looked down from heaven on the children there who played One lone child watched from the sideline as God wiped his tears away While he was visiting a city park While he was visiting a city park While he was visiting a city park The other day Hey Hey Maybe You're that child today.
