Heart

While the table is set and the feast is grand

Outside, life is ruthless across the land

I draw the curtains to hide the sight

And try to silence my conscience tonight

My feet are planted on ground so still

While bare feet wander against their will

To share the sorrow, to share the glee

To feel your pain as it burns in me

On the fifth floor, there’s a cry and a strain

A brand new life is born through the pain

On the sixth floor, another cry in the air

The sound of a parting, a heavy despair

Two different prayers at the exact same time

Reach the ears of God in a silent climb

Love is the motion, the spark, the rod

The only answer that comes from God
