Listening To the Health
Take this heart
And beat it with a stone
As healthy as it is
Yet wounded with bruises
This heart that you will take
Is still beautiful
Because it isn't stopping
It is still beautiful
Because it beats
To the sound of its own rhythm
Saying that it is beauty
For beauty is its noise
Beauty is its voice
The heart you will take
Creates its own definition of beauty
It creates its own sound of beauty
Surgeons will say that it doesn't look like so
But it knows it is, because its not always what you see
This heart knows
How to connect to your ears
And force you to listen
Do you hear that melody?
Sometimes, it seems to go off beat
Because it is different, and unique
It takes a while to get used to
Only because no one has ever heard the beauty
Of its song
So just take it
Even though it looks beat
It still beats to its own rhythm
Even when it's getting slower
Trust me, it's not dying
This heart will keep going
To The sound of its drums
Bum
Bum bum
Bu--
But you have to sing
And fight along
