"Somebody Cares"
It was April and I was in-between exhibitions in Texas so I met up with one of my workshop students (Kathy) and we went out photographing in the Hill Country
Driving along some back roads we came upon an old schoolhouse. Inside, I was immediately drawn to this old piano and equally old songbook. This photograph is titled, "Somebody Cares" and it happens to be the title to the song.
The song is copyright 1910 by Homer A. Rodeheaver. On the web it may be hard to make out the words, so here they are:
"Somebody knows when your heart aches, And everything seems to go wrong;
Somebody cares when you're tempted, And your mind grows dizzy and dim;
Somebody loves you when weary; Somebody loves you when strong;
Somebody knows when the shadows Need chasing away with a song;
Somebody cares when your weakest, And farthest away from Him;
Always is waiting to help you, He watches you one of the throng
Somebody knows when you're lonely, Tired... (page torn on rest of words)
Somebody grieves when you're fallen, You are...(page torn)
Needing His friendship so holy, Needing...(page torn)
Somebody wants you to know Him, And know that He...(page torn)
Somebody waits for your coming, And He'll drive...(page torn)
His name? We call His name Jesus; He loves...(page torn)"
