Put It in Your Heart Songtext

von Bruce Cockburn

As I stare into the flame
Filled up with feelings I can't name
Images of life appear -
Regret and anger, love and fear
Dark things drift across the screen
Of mind behind whose veil are seen
Love's ferocious eyes, and clear
The words come flying to my ear
"go on - put it in your heart -
Put it in your heart"

Terrible things done in the name
Of tunnel vision and fear of change
Surely are expressions of
A soul that's turned its back on love
All the sirens, all the tongues
The song of air in every lung
Heaven's perfect alchemy
Put me with you and you with me
Come on - put that in your heart
Come on - put it in your heart

All the sirens all the tongues
The song of air in every lung
Heaven's perfect alchemy
Put me with you and you with me
Come on - put it in your heart
Come on - put it in your heart
