Heartbeat
Bearing down
On our world
It never sleeps
Feel like a Zephyr harmonizing with a flute
Notes are rising in familiar twos and threes
The time of yearning is the same at any age
The back is bending and the sky is growing pale
Sun up sun down fade to a lookalike
Hearts and souls move together in time
One step forward is a leap for all mankind
Old man river smiles on all he leaves behind
Ooh when temptation brings you down
I say you better spread yourself around
Red limbs, my body's torn apart
The boy's hand will squeeze the giant's heart
Sun up sun down fade to a lookalike
Hearts and souls move together in time
If anybody's listening, a giant heartbeat is fading
Fire burns
Water drowns
Hate kills
Our homes
Faith helps
Love heals
Sun up sun down fade to a lookalike
Hearts and souls move together in time
If anybody's listening
If anybody's listening
Is anybody listening, a giant heartbeat is fading
