Ever get something in your head It's nothing you've heard, or something you've read Ever had a cut, but you never saw a blade Brought to your knees, but you never prayed Jesus in disguise Jehovah passing by The burden of a tear Hanging in your eye Jesus in disguise A scar across the sky You were looking for a king You would never recognize Jesus in disguise Ever feel like you've been somewhere before You hold the key, you know which door Speak the word your lips have never known Because your heart told you so Jesus in disguise Jehovah passing by The burden of a tear Hanging in your eye Jesus in disguise A scar across the sky You were looking for a king You would never recognize Jesus in disguise So open my eyes, wide as I can Blind as I am, blind as I am So open my eyes as wide as I can Blind as I am, blind as I am Jesus in disguise Jesus in disguise
