Young Heart That Once Broke Apart

My heart begins to pound Like raindrops, collapsing on my roof My heart begins to thump Like the drums – making rhythm in the night From my youth, I knew no goodness Teach me His truth, So that I will someday meet success From my youth, I knew nothing at first Teach me Your truth, Or I’ll be left to thirst On my own…please see me through The pane…the pain sticks to me like glue I had an active and cheerful heart But, evilness cruelly broke it apart And who’s the one to blame – well, me I had an innocent and naïve soul, But agony and shame took its toll It’s sad, but it’s all true I hear my heart beat – my heart bleeds blue And…now I call Him…who mends us all My heart skips a beat… I have shaky, nervous feet As if I was about to perform on stage, However, I won’t dread it… I won’t sweat it
