lyrics

Heart and Song
Enion Pelta-Tiller (BMI)
Ever was the day so dark we crossed that valley in our ark
Shadows cross the sun as stark as what was in your eyes
How did we come to this place a tear alone upon your face
Mingles with the rain and falls, come on and take my hand

And shall we rise up, my darling / And greet the new day with open arms
And shall we be strong, my lovely / And never give up on heart and song?

Standing side by side across a canyon gulf as wide 
As all the oceans put together. Can you hear me through this weather?
An answer like an echo faint, what I am is what you ain't
Missed the shore and here we are....

Reaching out across the miles, reaching out across the miles
Reaching out across the miles, I'm breaching

And shall we rise up, my darling / And greet the new day with open arms
And shall we be strong, my lovely / And never give up on heart and song?

Reaching out to you it seems defies the loneliness of dreams
Let's swallow all these oceans and forget forsaken lands
Walk the ridge, kick up red dust, water the sage with broken trust
And watch it grow a healing leaf, come on and take my hand

And shall we rise up, my darling / And greet the new day with open arms
And shall we be strong, my lovely / And never give up on heart and song?

Walk away and back again, we're different now we've changed again
Every tree must lose gold leave so spring can come anew.
You and I must not forget all that's been and all that's yet 
To come into our hearts and eyes, the eagle's sharper view

And shall we rise up, my darling / And greet the new day with open arms
And shall we be strong, my lovely / And never give up on heart and song?

And shall we rise up, my darling / And greet the new day with open arms
And shall we be strong, my lovely / And never give up on heart and song?
