Fear In The Heart

My friend Mickey wrote this song because he had to. He said, "I wish we didn't
need songs like these...I'd rather sing about a loving, peaceful world."

Fear In The Heart
2003 Michael J. Richard
verse
All this talk of war by the 'president'.
He must not have love in his heart.
And talk of terror by the White House resident.
He must have fear in his heart.

chorus
Fear in the heart, disease of the soul.
It tears down anything that grows.
Fear in the heart, gone out of control.
Cuts off life's blood flow.
Cuts off life's blood flow.

instrumental
verse
All this talk of weapons, of mass destruction.
When will we get rid of ours?
And the talk that threatens, never does mention.
It's all about oil for our cars.

chorus
Fear in the heart, disease of the soul.
It tears down anything that grows.
Fear in the heart, gone out of control.
Cuts off life's blood flow.
Cuts off life's blood flow.

verse
How can it be justice, without evidence?
Aren't we just shooting in the dark?
I hope the rest of us, receive providence,
Hope it brings love to our hearts.

chorus
Fear in the heart, disease of the soul.
It tears down anything that grows.
Fear in the heart, gone out of control.
Cuts off life's blood flow.
Cuts off life's blood flow.

If we didn't have songs like these, I wonder if the human race would have survived as long as it has. I think it's been a sanity cry for as long as we've existed. posted by Cyndy | link | | |
