Too many hearts

On too many strings

We could cut them down

But instead we let them hang in the breeze

Oh my brother tell me why



And why is my sister down on her knees

Crying out won't somebody help me

And where are we



Chorus

Didn't he love them

Didn't he hold out his hand

Wasn't jesus a model

An example to man

Of how we must love everyone in this land

And give till it hurts

Isn't that part of the plan



But we can't see through our religious charade

To take what he's given

And give love away



One more night

No place to call home

A torn-up jacket on his back

It's getting pretty cold

Where do i stand

Do i reach out my hand



And one more child's face

An my tv screen

She's dying of hunger

Shy can't we meet her need

And where are we



Chorus



But we can't see through our holy facade

To do the one thing that we're called to by god



Chorus



But we've all been blinded

By our selfish ways

Can we change this pattern

Will we stay the same



Chorus 2x



Didn't he love them
