wounded hearts take time to heal
some try to kill the pain with pills
toss one back, chase it with a swill
then morning comes to keep it real
some try to kill the pain with pills
wounded hearts take time to heal

when seeking silence, space to think
I notice sounds that I’ve ignored
and background din becomes a roar
clocks ticking, dripping kitchen sink
I notice sounds that I’ve ignored
when seeking silence, space to think

a pair of buzzards haunt the sky
to spy a lifeless mark below
somewhere near, death has claimed a soul
on wind and wing these reapers fly
to spy a lifeless mark below
a pair of buzzards haunt the sky

true patience is a virtue learned
as seasons go and come and go
life to death to life things flow
when endings take a lively turn
as seasons go and come and go
true patience is a virtue learned

it takes a certain fearlessness,
a heart that’s not afraid to break,
to love someone for loving’s sake,
no strings attached, in selflessness,
a heart that’s not afraid to break,
it takes a certain fearlessness
