Píseň: Oh My Heart

Album:
Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011
The kids have a new take, a new take on faith
Pick up the pieces, get carried away.
I came home to a city half-erased.
I came home to face what we faced.


This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart


Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)


The storm didn't kill me, the government changed
Hear the answer and call, hear this song, rearranged.
Hear the trees, the ghosts and the buildings, sing.
With the wisdom to reconcile this thing.


It's sweet and it's sad and it's true.
How it doesn't look bitter on you.


Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)


Mother and father, I stand beside you
The good of this world might help see me through
This place needs me here to start.
This place is the beat of my heart.


Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)


Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)
