1. Somebody Else

   Somebody Else had a heavier cross

   Than the one I bear to-day

   And the path were far too steep for me

   Had not Somebody led the way

   
   (2)

   Somebody Else had a sadder Heart

   Then the weary one in my breast

   Somebody's aching thorn-crowned Head

   Had nowhere to lie in rest

   
   (3)

   Somebody Else's tired Hands

   And Somebody's wounded Feet

   Were never too weary to minister

   And Somebody's smile was sweet

   
   (4)

   Somebody Else's Head was bent

   Not with the weight of years

   And the Light in Somebody's Beautiful Eyes

   Was dimmed by many Tears

   
   (5)

   Somebody Else's dove was spent

   And tears were wept in vain

   Shall I then count my weepings' cost

   Or grudge a little pain

   
   (6)

   Somebody Else was left alone

   Beneath an olive tree
