Remember the Tinman |
There are locks on the doors |
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside |
There’s a gate and a fence |
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside |
Who stole your heart left you with a space |
That no one and nothing can fill |
Who stole your heart who took it away |
Knowing that without it you can’t live |
Who took away the part so essential to the whole |
Left you a hollow body |
Skin and bone |
What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key |
Who stole your heart |
The smile from your face |
The innocence the light from your eyes |
Who stole your heart or did you give it away |
And if so then when and why |
Who took away the part so essential to the whole |
Left you a hollow body |
Skin and bone |
What robber what thief |
Who stole your heart and the key |
Now all sentiment is gone |
Now you have no trust in no one |
Who stole your heart |
Did you know but forget the method and moment in time |
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand |
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank |
Who hurt your heart |
Bruised it in a place |
That no one and nothing can heal |
You’ve gone to wizards, princes and magic men |
You’ve gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent |
But still all sentiment is gone |
But still you have no trust in no one |
If you can tear down the walls |
Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades |
If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay |
And don’t forget that you defend an empty space |
And remember the tinman |
Found he had what he thought he lacked |
Remember the tinman |
Go find your heart and take it back |
Who stole your heart |
Maybe no one can say |
One day you will find it I pray |
