Lyrics
Oh My Heart
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.
The kids have a new take
A new take on faith
Pick up the pieces
Get carried away
I came home to city half erased
I came home to face what we faced
This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(oh my heart)
Storm didn't kill me
The government changed
Hear the answer call
Hear the song rearranged
Hear the tress, the ghosts and the buildings sing
With the wisdom to reconcile this thing
It's sweet and it's sad and it's true
How it doesn't look bitter on you
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(oh my heart)
Mother and father
I stand beside you
The good of this world
Might help see me through
This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(oh my heart)
