The Echoing Of Heartbeats
2.26.2019
The echoing of heartbeats
Bouncing chest to chest
And when they do
We’ve passed the test
‘Cause when we do
We’re at our best
Giving when we can
Taking when we need
It takes two to tango
It takes two to plant the seed
Honesty and integrity
In giving and in need
And when we do
We’ve passed the test
‘Cause when we do
We’re at our best
And when we do
Heartbeats bouncing chest to chest
Becomes more than just
The echoing of heartbeats
It’s the you
It’s the me
It’s the who we’re meant to be
All I’d want from you
I’d give from me
And the same
For you for me
It’s who we’re meant to be
Seeds planted
It’s how the world could be
It’s how the world should be
Though should and are
Don’t seem so far
They’re often far from reach
Pointing fingers
Push away
Pointing fingers
Try to say
Not because of me
We are this way
But it was they who held the spades
And dug this chasm divide
As they lay their own spades down
Then point to the other side
But as they point
With finger one
Two, three and four
Point back at them
How they too
Had spades in hand
A perspective
Wholly lost on them
The hole’s been dug
It’s chasm deep
Let’s fill it back
Let’s plant the seeds
Stop pointing now
Pick up the spade
Let’s all refill
The hole we’ve made
Until we hear
The echoing of heartbeats
Bouncing chest to chest
And when we do
We’ve passed the test
‘Cause when we do
We’re at our best
And when we do
Heartbeats bouncing chest to chest
Becomes more than just
The echoing of heartbeats
It’s the you
It’s the me
It’s the who we’re meant to be
All I’d want from you
I’d give from me
And the same
For you for me
It’s who we’re meant to be
Seeds planted
It’s how the world could be
It’s how the world should be
The echoing of heartbeats
