My Heart Goes Out ( Warren Barfield )

She sat a table away

Staring into space

In her own little world

And I saw a tear in her eye

Like a window to the mind

Of a frightened little girl

She never said a word

But I know I clearly heard

A cry for help

And I wanted to answer her

I wanted to tell her



Chorus:

My Heart

Goes out to you

You don’t even know me

You don’t even know

Oh my heart goes out to you

And I don’t know what else to do

To reach you now

My heart goes out



But I’m still glued to my chair

She’s unaware

There’s little time

And though my intentions are good

If I’m mis-understood

The price could be high

I can’t fix whatever’s wrong

But if I fail to pass along

Someone cares

The price could be greater

This can’t wait til’ later



Bridge:

For God has loved the world so much

He sent His only son

From Heaven to earth

Well there’s a distance love covered

She’s just a table over

All she needs is a shoulder



Chorus:

My heart goes out to you

You don’t even know me

You don’t even know

Oh, my heart goes out

Lord, help me do what I can do

To reach her, to reach her

Oh my heart goes out to you

You don’t even know me

You don’t even know

Oh, my heart goes out to you

Let me do what I can do to reach you now

My heart goes out

Yeah

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This song has two meanings in my perspective. First is  when you see a person you care about hurting, sometimes you have no clue what to say, and you feel the hurt inside for them, but you can't express it into words, and you have really no idea what to say to them. The other is you see a person you like, you want to approach them, you may not even know them all that well. But you're just attracted, and you just want to be there for them, help them, and you really want to approach them. But at the same time if you say the wrong thing, the price could be high, and things will go misunderstood, as outlined in this song. When that happens it hurts, cuz I've had it happen myself.  But if you ever get a chance listen to this song, it's really great, and it spoke to me, which also caused me to get a little hyper!
