Heart Song

Such is life, you know, we must go on
Blendin what’s at hand
We can rise, we can fall, sometimes
still, we don’t understand.

Heaven dreams of men who rise so high
Laughin when they can
Bringin joy, to the sky, not sighs
Not carin where they land

Not givin in to sorrow
Not givin in to pain
Liftin up their voices
You gotta learn to sing again

Refrain

And come on, make your heart light,
come on make your heart bright again
dry your tears, let your fears, all end
raise your voice, bring a cheer and then
we will be, wild and free, let’s extend.

I never new much of anger
I fell toward the Light
And I scoured the seasons 
Burning way too bright

A ruddy flame that burnt boldly
Framing angels of night
Just like a soul phoenix rising
into the arms of His delight.

Not giving in to sorrow
Not givin in to pain
Liftin up their voices
You gotta learn to sing again

And come on, make your heart light,
come on make your heart bright again
dry your tears, let your fears, all end
raise your voice, bring a cheer and then
we will be, wild and free, let’s extend.

*Lyrics to Elton John's Song Healing Hands

Deb, sadly, I can't recall this song at all in order to sing it to myself with your new lyrics. But wow, I think YOUR lyrics are awesome!! REad my take on Crocodile Rock, REading in Bed. It doesn't seem melodic but I was copying the dang beat of that song and it goes super fast!! ARe you ever going to see Black Swan. It is a really good movie. Luv, Andrea
