Title: One Heart That Beats
(Classic rock/blues-funk fusion ballad)
Intro: (slow, bluesy riff building into funk-groove)
Yeah, I’ve been down roads that tore me apart
But I’m still here—still got a beating heart
I ain’t done searching, I ain’t done yet
There’s a queen out there I just ain’t met
Verse 1: (steady groove, soulful vocal)
Gave my time, gave my truth
Wore my soul thin back in my youth
Had a love that turned cold as stone
But I learned to stand up on my own
Verse 2: (slide guitar comes in, bluesy feel)
She won’t break me down or drain me dry
Won’t need no mask, no alibi
She’ll hold me close, not hold me back
Bring me color where I once saw black
Chorus: (lift here, classic rock harmony)
I believe in a love that sets you free
Where two strong hearts beat in unity
No more games, no more disguise
Just open arms and honest eyes
We’ll rise together, no retreat—
One heart that beats, one rhythm, one heat
Verse 3: (add some funk guitar, keep it groovy)
She don’t have to save me, just walk my line
Match my fire, match my mind
We’ll dance like smoke on a midnight breeze
And love will flow with natural ease
Verse 4: (slow it down slightly, build to final chorus)
She’s out there somewhere, maybe dreaming too
Feeling lost and looking for something true
We’ve both been scarred, both paid our dues
But this time, we’ve got nothing to lose
Chorus (repeat with extra soul):
I believe in a love that sets you free
Where two strong hearts beat in unity
No more games, no more disguise
Just open arms and honest eyes
We’ll rise together, no retreat—
One heart that beats, one rhythm, one heat
Outro: (let the band breathe here, groove fades out)
So I’ll keep my soul tuned like a song
Knowing she’s been out there all along
When she shows, it’ll feel complete—
Just one heart, just one heartbeat
