She was born on the wrong side of the railroad tracks
When she ran away she never looked back
She never looked back
Now she finds her home on the LA streets
She's not looking for a handout she wants to be seen
Come in close close enough to see her pain
Remember the words of another one suffering
God is here
Come in close closer this time
If you want to see Jesus look into her eyes
Look into her eyes
Hey God is here
See the city where she lives in these dirty places
See the beggars and the whores and the homeless faces
God is here
See the children who are sleeping and the woman who is drunk
And the man with the sign that says he's down on his luck
God is here
See the man with the sign give another his blanket
If you didn't look close you wouldn't think it but
God is here
Come in close closer this time see the miracle of laughter the miracle of life
Here in the places we call hopeless you call out your kingdom
Then you call us beautiful
Here out of the ashes you build cities of hope
He says this is my home and these are my children you want to see me
You've got to see them
