Heartland

Like the sunlight falling onto snow

Like a sheet of a light

Like a sheet of white

That wraps around your body

And you lie there hidden underneath

Waiting for the flow

For the night to go

For a hand to soothe your body

I want to see you blossom and be you

Come into your own

Reborn into a lush land

Holding onto my hand

Growing from the heartland

Fingers reaching feeling for the ‘no’

Welcomed by the light

And a life in sight

You’re back into the warm days

Open mind, open mouthed

What a world!

Eyes are wide and bright

You can say goodbye

To back-against-the-wall days

I want to see you blossom and be you

Come into your own (see you come into your own)

Reborn into a lush land

Holding onto my hand

Growing from the heartland

Waiting for a love that was always there

Didn’t have the heart to feel it

On a carousel going nowhere

Didn’t have the heart to leave it

I want to see you blossom and be you

Come into your own (see you come into your own)

Reborn into a lush land

Holding onto my hand

Growing from the heartland

I want to see you blossom and be you

Come into your own (see you come into your own)

Reborn into a lush land

Spying you from my hands

Wandering the heartland
