Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was no time for pain, no energy for anger
The sightlessness of hatred slips away
Walking through winter streets alone, he stops and take a breath
With confidence and self-control
[Verse 2]
I look at the world and see no understandin'
I'm waitin' to find some sense of strength
I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart
To show me understanding
[Verse 3]
I need to live a life like some people never will
So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth
When temptation brings me to my knees
And I lay here drained of strength
Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth
[Verse 4]
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats makes all the difference
In learning to live
[Verse 5]
Here before me is my soul
I'm learning to live
I won't give up till I've no more to give
No more to give
[Verse 6]
Listenin' to the city, whispering its violence
I set out watching from above
The 90's bring new questions, new solutions to be found
I fell in love to be let down
[Verse 7]
Once again we dance in the crowd at times I step away
From a common fear that's all spread out, it won't listen to what you say
Once you're touched you stand alone to face the bitter fight
Once I reached for love and now I reach for life
[Verse 8]
Another chance to life my life, free the sensation in my heart
To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons
It brings inner peace within my mind
As I'm lifted from where I've spilt my life
I hear an innocent voice, I hear kindness, beauty and truth
[Verse 9]
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats makes all the difference
In learning to live
[Verse 10]
Spread before you is your soul
So forever hold the dreams within our hearts
Through nature's inflexible grace
I'm learning to live
