The Heart of the World
Tin cans on rattlin' pavementConfetti scattered everywhereShe falls asleep in the seat beside meRice caught up in her hairI don't mind it, I keep drivin',Flying on these wheels of steelA bit anxious, a bit nervousThe moment's all that we can feel
If oil is the soul of the engineAnd wine is the drink of the GodsForgiveness the road to redemptionFaith can still beat the oddsWe're meant to be baby hold on to meYou'll never not be my girl'Cause love is the heart of the world
I leave him sleepin' as I rise earlyAlways up before the dawnThe house is dark, but I see clearlyKettle sings a morning songThe bacon's frying, babies cryingI soak up the sights and soundsMinutes turn to days and I wish that I could slow it down
If grease is the soul of the kitchenAnd coffee the drink of the GodsRoutine too perfect to mentionTime is a thief I would robWe're meant to be baby hold onto meI'll never not be your girl'Cause love is the heart of the world
Oh, and hope is soul of the dreamerAnd heaven is the home of my GodIt only takes one true believerTo believe you can still beat the odds
We're meant to be baby hold onto meYou'll never not be my girl (I'll never not be your girl)'Cause love is the heart, love is the heart,Love is the heart of the world
