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
