Lyrics
The Heart Of Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
but I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothin' new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
but I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who is misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
