Album: Live Like We're Redeemed
It's easier to stare down at my feet
Avoid the hungry eyes
Of the beggar on the street
Keep walking past a single mom
Struggling to her car
With grocery bags and toddlers
Spilling from her arms
Who's got the time
'Cause I've got enough to do
To keep me busy for a week
Without somebody else's problems
Piling up on me
Convenience and compassion
Never travel hand in hand
I hear a still small voice
Asking me where I stand
In a one mile world
In a one mile world
You can turn your head
If you don't want to see the hurt
So you don't ever have
To go the second mile
In a one mile world
It must break the heart of God
To see the mess we've made down here
How we war and wound each other
As we leave with this trail of tears
Would the world be any different
If I did all I could do
All these chances I've been missing
Should break my heart too
In a one mile world
In a one mile world
You can turn your head
If you don't want to see the hurt
So you don't ever have
To go the second mile
In a one mile world
I've been lost and I've been broken
In need of love myself
God knows where I would be
If someone haven't given me some help
In a one mile world
In a one mile world
You can turn your head
If you don't want to see the hurt
Or you can roll your sleeves up
And get down into the dirt
'Cause somebody needs a hand
For a little while
A friend who's gonna go
The second mile
In a one mile world
In a one mile world
It must break the heart of God
To see the mess we've made down here
