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 up these eyes?

and why?

i'm asking you why?
