Heart Song

Yell and scream And fight it out Angry voices turn to shouts Neither knows how the other feels No thoughts or fears or dreams revealed Both hurt so many times before Each faith is shaken to the core Looking at the world around With each breath our spirits drown On the pain of heartbreaks dwell Only Shadows of ourselves Our hearts are shackled bound in chains No twinkle in our eyes remains Preparing for the worst it seems It can’t hurt when you have no dreams Used to have the future planned Two kids, a dog, a mini-van Never used to doubt these things Now thoughts of these only sadness brings Walls we’ve built around our hearts Doing our best to dodge cupid’s dart Let down too many times before Our hearts now safe behind locked doors Surviving life but never living Each old scar so unforgiving Often feeling all alone Even though friends and family phone Wanting to protect them all Not take them down if you fall Can’t succeed if we don’t try Start practicing a battle cry Push through the darkness into the light Never willingly give up the fight The past is done and gone The future plays a mysterious song So through the present we’ll carry on
