Standard (EADGBE)
If you want a heart of sympathy
Then pray to God to help you please
See the world that Jesus sees
Yeah
But be careful what you ask Him for
Cause if youre gonna open up that door
Theres no going back to before
Cause once you see a mother who cant feed
The baby that cries in her arms
Your heart will break and youll lay awake
No sleep wont come quick anymore
So do you want to know
You pass him on the way to work
He holds a sign beside the curb
You look away and avoid the hurt
Cause why should you be held responsible
Besides he'll probably just spend it all
On cigarettes and alcohol mmmmmm
But once you see that the man on the street
Has a name and a family like you
Your heart will break and youll lay awake
Cause youll understand God loves him,
too
So do you want to know
Oh no
If you want a heart of sympathy
Then pray to God to help you see
But once you see a world thats in need
And a sorrow you just cant ignore
Your hearts gonna break and youll lay awake
Cause youll know you could do so much
more
Do you want to know?
