The Visitor
I see you at the meeting, but you never say hello. You're busy all the time you're there with friends you already know. I sit among the group and yet I'm a lonely guy
The new ones are as strange as me, you old ones pass us by.
But, then you folks asked us in and you talked of fellowship; You could walk across the room, but you never made the trip. Why can't you nod and say hello, or stop and shake my hand? Then go and sit with your friends, now that I'd understand.
I'll be at your next meeting with perhaps some time to spend.
