The Thoughts of the Heart

"The Thoughts Of The Heart"


The thoughts of the heart are the hearts of all thought
This is proven by every word that's ever spoken
The inner state is defined by the choice of words sought
They sound either whole or they either sound broken

This is proven by every word that's ever spoken
Sometimes what is said is often what should be not
They sound either whole or they either sound broken
Especially with the words from a negative thought

Sometimes what is said is often what should be not
A mean spirit could not care less what to say
Especially with words from a negative thought
It shows the inner darkness and a spiritual decay

A mean spirit could not care less what to say
It prefers the tint of shadows to the shining light
It shows the inner darkness and a spiritual decay
It makes the high noon appear to be the dark of night

It prefers the tint of shadows to the shining light
There's no knowledge that the heart is full of treasure
It make the high noon appear to be the dark of night
Positive words are the heart's truly honest measure

There's no knowledge that the heart is full of treasure
Words are either golden or they simply sound like tin
Positive words are the heart's truly honest measure
Defilement is what comes out a mouth ~ not what goes in

Words are either golden or they simply sound like tin
The inner state is defined by the choice of words sought
Defilement is what comes out a mouth ~ not what goes in
The thoughts of the heart are the hearts of all thought
