A Fearless Heart - 1997

Time moves slowly as of late

The world that is spinning looks more to me like a grave

So I’ll run back to the quarry where all of my worries would fade

It’s the places we belong clouded days

Your heavy heels will lift and they will take you far

Don’t ever forget the will of your fearless heart

Well it wasn’t a mountain but it was the highest point

We could find to escape from the city and make some noise

We would sneak past the trees and scream wild at the world so tame

They need power for lights while we dance through the night round the flame

Your weightless bones will soar you where you want to go

Don’t ever forget the will of your fearless heart

This is the only moment that truly matters

Don’t you waste it with tasting the past or the salt in your eyes

Life’s a gas it just goes so fast, and then you die

But I won’t ever forget when our lips were wet and a smile was free

And the whole world was spinning in circles around you and me

Both nearly deaf from the ringing laughter

This is the only moment that truly matters

Your heels will lift, your bones will soar when you recall what’s true

Don’t ever forget it’s always been in you

Once the world shimmered bright

But now the gloss just fades to night

Once I was a child of sight

Until the darkness stole the light
