I tried to talk to you but you wouldn't hear
I tried to warn you but you couldn't care
Am I talking to a heart of stone, am I?
Oh my love, O my love

I hold my hands out to you all day long
But you just walk by
My Spirit will not always strive with man
Oh open your eyes, Oh open your eyes

I know your deeds, your love for me
Is neither hot nor cold
Your love for me is weighed and wanting
Because your love is old
The final call you fail to heed
You've heard it all before
And though I plead for you to listen once more

No man lays it to heart
No man lays it to heart

Woe to those who call evil good
And make the truth a lie
And those who substitute darkness for light
Your wisdom will die
Your nation will die
And so you think I'm just like you
That I should see no wrong
And those that sin will grow and prosper
And make their houses strong
And though they say I do not see
I hear the whole land mourn
And though I wait to hear my people call

No man lays it to heart
No man lays it to heart

The God of nations at His people's feet
Pacific's Triple Star
I see a sword that's drawn over this land
And no man lays it to heart
No man lays it to heart
