A heart of lead
Couldn't beat
Couldn't feel
Wasn't worthy without it's precious
Yet it beat for poor, that no one saw
It felt for the weak, that no one heard
It gave away all it's shine, for ones unknown
Stripping away sapphires, rubies, gold
It's actual worth was shone.

A heart of lead
Couldn't beat
Couldn't feel
Wasn't worthy without it's precious
Yet it beat for poor, that no one saw
It felt for the weak, that no one heard
It gave away all it's shine, for ones unknown
Stripping away sapphires, rubies, gold
It's actual worth was shone.
Inspired by 'The Happy Prince' by Oscar Wilde
