But be careful what you ask Him for

Cause if you’re gonna open up that door

Em G

There’s no going back to before

Cause once you see a mother who can’t feed

Em C

The baby that cries in her arms

C D

Your heart will break and you’ll lay awake

Em A

No, sleep won’t come quick anymore

C D G

So do you want to know?

You pass him on the way to work

He holds a sign beside the curb

Em G

You look away and avoid the hurt

Cause why should you be held responsible

Besides, he’ll probably just spend it all

Em G

On cigarettes and alcohol

But once you see that the man on the street

Em C

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

Your heart’s gonna break and you’ll lay awake

Cause you’ll know you could do so much
