Tenth Avenue North - Hearts Safe (A Better Way) Lyrics






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?

Tenth Avenue North Hearts Safe (A Better Way) Comments
  1. G.... B....

    Funny enough, of all of TANs songs, including the heavy hitting ones like Worn and I Have This Hope, this is the song that always brings me to tears.

  2. P.... v....

    Please lord, open up my brother's eyes...

    P.... v....

    I had just prayed I believe.. those exact same words a few weeks ago

  3. T.... ....

    Aha! The color starts out with an orange-y color and then moves thru all the colors of the spectrum, going through purple and then back to red again--the precursor to the original orange! Original orange . . . sounds like some kind of fashion design . . . anyway, it's a little freaky how it changes color like that.

    T.... ....

    Oh! thx

  4. S.... J....

    Makes sense now, thanks =)

  5. I.... R....

    I interpret it as a man who grew up with a close friend who has turned from the Lord and he's asking the Lord, "why?" and praying for the Lord to open his friends eyes.

  6. S.... J....

    can someone tell me what the song is about? I'm unable to understand it. Thanks :)

  7. I.... ....

    You don't have to, no, but I think you should.

  8. S.... B....

    do i have to respect your belief?

    S.... B....

    idk but it's respectful to

  9. I.... ....

    I completely respect yours and everyone else's beliefs but people should have their own belief and shouldn't have other people try to make them think differently.

  10. J.... ....

    No bro, it's to "open his eyes". We as fallen human beings let our pride, fear, stubbornness, ect. get in the way of accepting Truth. The reality of it is God created us to be with Him, but then our sin separated us from Him because no one can ever be good enough to make up lost ground. But God LOVES US, so to pay the price for our sin Jesus Died and Rose Again. Now, everyone who puts their faith and trust in Him alone will spend eternity in Heaven with God. We pray for Jordan's understanding.

  11. I.... ....

    Incredibly late reply, you probably won't even see this but are you saying you are getting people to pray to MAKE someone believe something they don't?

    I.... ....

    To realize something they hadn't seen before in something they don't believe.
    The most amazing thing is when you realize your belief and God are actually incredibly bonded.

  12. D.... R....

    09SoulJAHZ gave a pretty good interpretation. After looking up the lyrics on google that's what I took from it as well.

  13. A.... B....

    Lmfao loving it

  14. T.... M....

    can someone explain the meaning of this song for me pliz? i really wanna know... thanx

    T.... M....

    "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

  15. E.... K....

    Ok, so I just read this, and then scrolled up, and the color was purple. O.o

  16. R.... ....

    Hey guys. I have a friend named Jordan. Can you guys pray for him to discover Jesus? Thank you.

  17. 0.... ....

    @allihaveischristyeah it's about talking to a someone that left God's path, because they got curious or just got bored or for whatever reason they just stopped following God. It talks about how they both started strong in faith, and they both doubted at some point in their life, but now his friend made his choice to leave, and it hurts him to see someone so close to him can fall out of God's love, and he's asking God to help him find God again. In fact, his close friend might even be family.

    "Strong" in faith? And then leaving? No. Appearing to be strong in faith.
