Lyrics

Words and music by bob hartman
Based on matthew 25:35-48

Another day in nigeria the children beg for bread
The crops failed, the well ran dry
When they lost the watershed

A baby dies, its mother cries, the children gather 'round
They're wondering what the day will bring
Will they be the next one found?

(Chorus)
Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes?

In the crowded sheds the children lay their heads
To escape the haitian heat
The hunger pains drive them to the street
Wond'ring if today they'll eat
Some find food in the refuse heap, others find disease
Some find it harder just to live when they can die with ease

The least of these is hungry
The least of these is sick
The least of these needs clothing
The least of these needs drink
The least of these knows sorrow
The least of these knows grief
The least of these has suffered pain, and jesus is his name

(2Nd chorus)
Do you dare to gaze into his hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
Is he staring back at you with his hollow eyes
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes?

Again, the lyrics to this song are different than what is printed inside the cover, especially in the chorus. I wrote what is actually sung on the album
