A New Heart Testo

❝ve been asked to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another, for my mother for my bride
A song that❝ll shine on my kids and theirs to come
Something that❝ll love them and watch over when I❝m gone
To my ward, to my wheel-chair, to my runner❝s-up drip
Will you push me will you pull when I❝m too fat to see my❦
Didn❝t I always tell you I❝d stay for 2000 years?
You❝d better hope that science fiction doesn❝t have good ears
You❝re rubbing on my genie hurry up and make a wish
Quenched that thirst my bag is burst watch out for all my❦
Flies trying to break in to my eyes like little rymes
Of hatred trying to squeeze inside all these precious lines
I see across to the hills and the bridge that wears the sun
I remember how I feel when I know you❝re going to come
Running up the stairway and through the front door
Cook us dinner then we burst, take pictures on the floor
Remember when I sing my songs that opposites attract
That❝s why these shavings of despair come zooming to my heart
For he is gold and magnet-red and beacon and a light
I take these flies and pick them off and catalogue the night
So put it in your eyes any way that you like
I say the words and feel your heart when I lie awake at night
I know sometimes I❝m moody and you have to wear kid-gloves
I❝m trying hard to better myself I❝m trying to rise above
So I tried to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another at my mother at my bride
I almost got accosted by the good old negative
And even when I❝m screaming love I❝m swearing that it is❦
Shouldn❝t I just admit it that I❝ve lost the race to lose
Break the record in it❝s track and stop being confused
A friend to my failures and a friend to myself
Is what I❝ll be when I❝ve fixed the roof and everything else.
