Trapped in simple conversation
Hard getting past those old familiar lines
Guarded hearts and with good reason
Say, how are you? Oh I'm doing just fine

They've said all that they can say
Then they turn and walk away
And the wounded hearts
Must wait another day

Who cares when they're crying
Who cares when they're all alone
And no one knows how much they long
To find someone

Who cares that they're dying
Who cares that the road is long
And you could be the one to lead them
To the One who cares

Captured by the rush of living
It's so hard to hear our brothers' quiet cries
But freedom comes when we are willing
To open up our hearts and realize

We've said all that we can say
We can't turn and walk away
'Cause the wounded hearts
Might not wait another day

Who cares when they're crying
Who cares when they're all alone
And no one knows how much they long
To find someone

Who cares that they're dying
Who cares that the road is long
Oh, you could be the one to lead them
To the One who cares

The Father gave His only Son
To let the whole world see
His perfect love is all
We'll ever need

'Cause He cares when they're crying
He cares when they're all alone
And no one knows how much they long
To find someone

Who cares that they're dying
He cares that the road is long
And we could be the ones to lead them
To the One

Who cares when they're crying
He cares when they're all alone
He will show them Jesus
He is the One who cares

Oh, I know Jesus cares
When they're crying
When they're all alone
When they're dying
We've got to learn to know He cares
