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
