V1
A tear is a sad thing
but worse when it’s not shed
Hard words are a hard thing
But they kill when their not said

V2
Love is such a great thing
But it’s useless when it’s kept
Hate is such a strong thing
But it’s nothing when it’s not spread

Ch
A broken heart
is much better than
A joyful heart that should be broke
Don’t mind if I disturb your slumber
It’s high time that you awoke

V3
Wisdom is a gained thing
But there’s nothing to be gained
When the ears are full of pride
And the mouths are all so vain

Rest can be so helpful
Probably less than you’d expect
Comfort has it’s place
But it kills when it’s loved best

Ch
And a broken heart
is much better than
A joyful heart that should be broke
Don’t mind if I disturb your slumber
It’s high time that you awoke

V4
So bleed your love on your neighbors
Cause Jesus bled his love on you
Pierce your heart with the suffering
That your neighbors must go through

Then out of your compassion
Go share the good news
With tears in your eyes
Tell them Jesus is the truth

Bridge
Don’t close up your heart
By the four walls of a church
Or the border of a nation
Or the barrier of a tongue

Ch
A broken heart
is much better than
A joyful heart that should be broke
Don’t mind if I disturb your slumber
It’s high time that you awoke
