Story behind the song
love it “this song is about Compassion personified, calling out to us to listen, care and love. it came out a journey of realising i can disengage from the neediness of people because i didn’t want to carry the burden of seeing pain and truly caring.”
Lyrics
sometimes it’s easier to run away/ more convenient to smile and turn away/ it’s too tiring to give again/ costs too much to let my heart feel again i’ve done it all before/ closed my heart when Compassion came knocking on my door open up your (my) ears to hear the cries of the broken/ open up your ears to hear the pangs of the hungry/ open up your ears to hear the pleas of the desperate and the lonely/ open up your ears to hear the beat of your Father’s heart i’ve tasted the ugliness of apathy/ paid my share of token sympathies/ i prayed i’ll make a difference once upon a time/ to give up more than just some dollars and a dime it costs to feel/ and it pays to see/ but inasmuch as you did for these/ you did unto Me
