This Heart is a tune in three voices – it takes place as a conversation between the limited, doubting, insecure, at times frail human self, the idea of a ‘guardian angel’ and the ancestors. I always have the strong sense that although we are individual and completely unique and unrepeatable, we are...
[Verse]
Let me introduce my name
Been a long time coming
But you were too weak to understand
And so unseen I've held your hand
[Bridge]
Oh in your speech be justified (Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh)
Calm as a fire burning mortar
They’ll cut you so quick
But your blood is true you are sanctified
[Chorus]
This Heart bathed by a summer rain
This hurt humbled by a child in pain
These words wild as any mother
Who's torn from her flesh asunder
Your serve bind us to the earth we rise
Your nerve look us in the eyes we're fine
Our fight lustrous as our nature
Our love sweetest operator
[Post Chorus]
All da tem you delay, lay
All da tem de gal you go soba
All da pray wae you pray, pray
All da pray de you heart go bette
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
All da pray de gal you de pray…
[Verse]
I’m breathing my love into you still
Coiled and vulnerable as it is
When your form is changing
And your hopes are failing
Girl you got to lay it down
, oh
'Cause you can dress up all your pain
But it's not the truth that wears the woman
(ooh yeah)
[Bridge]
Oh in your speech be justified (Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
Calm as a fire burning mortar
Cut you so quick
But your blood is true you are sanctified
[Chorus]
This Heart bathed by a summer rain
This hurt humbled by a child in pain
These words wild as any mother
Who's torn from her flesh asunder
Your serve bind us to the earth we rise
Your nerve look us in the eyes we're fine
Our fight lustrous as our nature
Our love sweetest operator
[Post Chorus]
All da tem you delay, lay
All da tem de gal you go soba
All da pray wae you pray, pray
All da pray de you heart go bette
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
All da pray de gal you de you de pray
[Outro - All sections sang simultaneously]
All da tem you delay, lay
All da tem de gal you go soba
All da pray wae you pray, pray
All da pray de you heart go bette
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
One tem gal na for change, change
All da pray de gal you de you de
Oh in your speech be justified
Calm as a fire burning mortar
Oh we collide
But your blood is true
Oh your blood is true
Oh your love is true
Oh you're sanctified
Miserere mei
Cor mundum crea in me
Creatra cor mundum crea in me
Cor mundum crea in me
Cor mundum crea in me, mei
