hearts safe (a better way).

i feel it in your eyes.
there's pain that covers up these lies.
now you may look like me
but it seems you're really different on the inside.

we used to keep our hearts safe.
we kept them safe and locked away.
but then we grew up learning
that life could serve us in a better way.

and why?
i'm asking you why?

so what happened to your eyes?
i saw them wander just like mine.
so how did we come to see so differently
after all this time?


and why?
i'm asking you why?
and why?
i'm asking you why?

if the sheep know His voice, then tell me what is the choice
for the ones who haven't heard and have no need to rejoice?
Father, help me understand.
‘cause i am just like him and, Lord, he's just like me.
we came from the same town and the same families
but now he, 
he just won't understand.
please, Lord, open up his eyes.
can You open these eyes?


and why?
i'm asking you why?
