Heart Song |
And so we turn my friends once more to matters of the heart |
A word that’s used so much I hardly know where to start |
Yours is hungry for adventure |
It’s a little left of centre |
I’m so very grateful for your heart |
Perhaps the thing I love the most is its profound compulsion |
To pump your blood around your body of its own propulsion |
Moving oxygen and energy |
With unfailing regularity |
I’m so very grateful for your heart |
So often celebrated |
Maybe it’s overrated |
And your skin keeps out the weather |
It holds you all together |
And I can’t help wondering whether I’m |
Equally grateful for your skin |
Now you have a beautiful heart |
But other organs deserve our love too |
How come we never hear such songs about the lungs or liver |
You’ve a fine pair of the one and an impressive example of the other |
When you tell me that you love me |
Or pour yourself a glass of whisky |
I’m so very grateful for your lungs and your liver |
And when we say heart that’s just a code for something in the brain |
I want no part in that encroaching theft of word terrain |
Plus did you know without the head |
You could even wind up dead |
I’m so very grateful for your brain |
I put this to a friend |
A doctor of medicine |
She said without a kidney |
You’d be in trouble quickly |
Turns out the body is a complex machine of highly interrelated essential systems |
Each composed of many unsung heroes |
Now you have a beautiful heart |
But other organs deserve our love too |
And my friends, the time has come to recap from the start |
I’m grateful for your skin |
Yes grateful for your lungs and liver |
Grateful for your brain |
And whether you’re talking love or veins |
I’m still so very grateful for your heart |
