Do You Want To Know

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 you�??re gonna open up that door
There�??s no going back to before
Cause once you see a mother who can�??t feed
The baby that cries in her arms
Your heart will break and you�??ll lay awake
No, sleep won�??t 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
But once you see that the man on the street
Has a name and a family like you
Your heart will break and you�??ll lay awake
Cause you�??ll 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 that�??s in need
And a sorrow you just can�??t ignore
Your heart�??s gonna break and you�??ll lay awake
Cause you�??ll know you could do so much more
Do you want to know?
