I awoke
During the middle of my own heart transplant surgery
I did not feel fear
Only amazement
A body alive
Without blood being pumped
A man alive without a heart

My old heart
Just wasnt working like it should anymore
It's been through too much pain
It has been broken too many times
Too many hopes
Weighing too heavily

I awoke
I saw my old battered heart on a table to my left
And my new heart
In some unnamed doctors hands
I felt to my chest
And it was an empty cavity

I wasn't afraid
I knew my love should be as dead as the dreams I used to have
But its still alive
It still has another chance
I was still alive
When I awoke
