Do You Want To Know lyrics

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?
