Racing Heart (Be the Sky)
Written by Melanie Safka
Be the sky I long to fly through
I'm a song for your breeze to sing
I'm in this play without a part
And I stand silent with my racing heart
Beauty cries out to everyone
So few ever hear her sing
We live to play our souls out loud
Yet we stand silent with our racing hearts
It has it's own life, it has it's own sun
It has it's own god, it has it's own gun
It knocks at heaven's door and opens it as well
It seeks its own truth, finds its own hell
I'm condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with a racing heart
Condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with my racing heart
In these places of my longing
Beyond isolation's door
In realms of dream I light the spark
My soul shall burn beside my racing heart
*It has it's own life, it has it's own sun
It has it's own god, it has it's own gun
It knocks at heaven's door and opens it as well
It seeks its own truth, finds its own hell
I'm condemned to wander worlds apart
Standing in silence with a racing heart
Condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with my racing heart
I'm condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with a racing heart
Condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with my racing heart
There is no vindication for one who truly loves
There is no peace of mind, no answer clear enough
No one to ever tell why we choose life to live
Or if there is a plan, like children, we believe
I'm condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with a racing heart
Condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with a racing heart
Be the sky I long to fly through
