Quiet Heart

from Delicious Mystery by Crimson Hue

/

lyrics

You say light is in the world
I say it’s in your head
You say the world must come to us
I say it’s already here
And you say kill
And I say be killed
You say thrill
And I say be still my quiet heart

You say the classics swing
I say they do no such thing
(It ain’t never be heard of, boy)
You look for complexity
Where there’s only simplicity
(Because that’s the way you mind works fella!)
You say President
I say King
(Because that’s what he is)
You say terrorist
And I’m nothing with the quiet heart

But you know what?
At the end of a long hard day I can truthfully say
(Yeah, I can)
That I love everything just a little more than I did yesterday
(And that ain’t nothing)

You war can be justified
(Are you such a fool?)
Yeah, you call it war
I call it fratricide
(You shoot them women and children down)
You say might is always right
(How can you be wrong? You got the bomb?)
I that what you tell yourself
When you wake screaming in the middle of the night?

(Here it comes)
You say love
I say be love
And you say hate
And I say it’s too late for my quiet heart
(But you know what?)

At the end of a long hard day I can truthfully say
That I love everything just a little more than I did yesterday

Can you say the same?
I don’t think so
