heartbeat
yes i still have one
heartbeat
let me know that i’m alive
heartbeat
a primordial rhythm
heartbeat
the pulse of life
heartbeat
ancient tribal music
heartbeat
the cry of the blues
heartbeat
submerged emotion
heartbeat
longing to be true
heartbeat
blood is rushing
heartbeat
hear it in my ears
heartbeat
throb of passion
heartbeat
measuring the years
heartbeat like a drum
heartbeat like a river
heartbeat soft and tender
heartbeat like a whisper
as long as the heart still beats
we are all one
as long as the heart still beats
we are not alone
as long as the heart still beats
we are bound to the same beginning
as long as the heart still beats
we share a common soul
and when the heartbeat ends
and when the heartbeat ends
another heartbeat begins
