Original Heart Songtext
von Philippe Bronchtein

How do you soften a hardened heart
That the world has battered, bruised and charred?
Do you breathe in what has been
Or yearn for what′s to come?
Or do you find yourself some land
Where you can garden while you hum
Or breathe in the air, try to hold in the world
Let it go slowly and let your hands uncurl
Oh, let yourself be known, let yourself learn
The heart of another whose trust you've earned


Now I′m gonna love you 'til the sun burns out
'Til the clouds run out of rain and the river′s out of trout
And if I make it to one thousand years old
On my original heart or with a spare set of bones
I′m gonna love you like a queen
You know I don't say things that I don′t mean
To the moon and back and in between
It's you, oh, it′s you, it's you

And I have learned how to grieve a dream
To bury the what-ifs and the could-have-beens
Feel the stillness in the ground and the promise in a home
Risen from the soil and the seeds we′ve sown
Now the days feel easy and even when they don't
You're the air in my lungs that keeps me afloat
The wind in my sails that sets me on my way
A soft place to land at the end of the day

Now I′m gonna love you ′til the sun burns out
'Til the clouds run out of rain or when the river′s out of trout
And if I make it to one thousand years old
On my original heart or with a spare set of bones
I'm gonna love you like a queen
You know I don′t say things that I don't mean
To the moon and back and in between
It′s you, oh, it's you, it's you
Oh, it′s you, oh, it′s you
