The heart never sleeps like the mind
forever it twists and turns
When the mind has had enough
the heart of love still burns

The mind tells the heart to tether
it's hopes upon a string
Always thinking it knows better
how to make life's chorus sing

These two dance through life together
two parts of just one soul
Each searching for love of another
while chasing a different goal

Many a man has followed his mind
to turn heart's love asunder
But he never knows beauty's bliss
and of love will always wonder

The mind is not the final judge
of what this life is all about
Better to not die with a whimper
but to live to scream and shout
