Cold hearts

 

Why do people have cold hearts?  
I really don’t understand.  
How they can be so selfish  
That they treat people like sifting sand?  

Why do people care so little?  
‘Bout family, even friends  
Don’t they care what people go through?  
I really don’t understand

They say we’re “crazy”  
‘Cause we can’t “just get over” things  
If it were that easy  
Then we wouldn’t “want to die”  
Don’t they even try to understand?

  Why do they treat us so?  
Like “we’re not good enough” to stand?  
No matter how hard we truly try  
It just makes me want to cry

Why do people have cold hearts?  
I really would like to know  
Lord, help them to see  
How You died for them at Calvary  
And how you can melt away the cold.
