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
