The World Inside My Heart
Can you see the sky inside my heart?
My nightly sky, with stars so bright
Each star aloft, within my sky, shines for you
Do you see the ocean inside my heart?
It’s mighty sway, those crashing waves
The breaking tide, coming in and out, does this for you
Take a look at the forest inside my heart
The blowing breeze, the majestic trees
The whistling wind, blowing through the leaves, sings songs for you
Have you seen the mountains inside my heart?
Those snow capped peaks, the strength it keeps
They stand there tall, fearless and steady, immovable for you
Come and see the river inside my heart
Its winding course, its raging force
Cutting through the ground, this water so wild, runs for you
Let me show you the desert inside my heart
The dry parched earth, a land so hurt
This desperate place, in need of water, thirsts for you
Will you look at the meadow inside my heart?
The birds fly pass, the green soft grass
This sheltered place, of solace and beauty, remains for you
Can you picture this world inside my heart?
The joy it brings, so filled with things
This world exists, and turns each day, because of you
