Ignorant Hearts

We are lovers of improvements, we admire progressive movements

We're the mortals of an age of many things

And we harp on education, it's our foremost calculation

And we praise the learned products that it brings

Our professors brains are burning

With the boundless store of learning

For we think our minds' the most important part

And the man who is commanding

Is the man of understanding

So we never think to educate the heart

Ignorant hearts, there's nothing more to say

Ignorant hearts, will we always be this way?

When we want to last the longest

Then we strive to be the strongest

For we cannot win unless we can endure

And we think we're up on learning

When we know we're up on earning

And we build a body that is strong and sure

With a mind that's educated, and a brain that's graduated

And a body that is taught to help us start

We go out and take our chances

In the winds of circumstances

Having never thought to educate the heart

(Chorus)

Hoping this will cause no question, for it's only a suggestion

And of course I still admit we're very smart

But we lack one thing my brothers

It's greater than all the others

We should take the time and educate the heart

(Chorus)
