Imprisoned by will
enslaved by a notion
I ripped my heart out
and let it sail in the ocean.
Disillusioned by segregation
a victim of seclusion
let my heart find another
and savor the taste of fusion.
Caressed by echoes
and the sounds of the gone
let the hearts strike a common note
and sing their own song.
Driven by purpose
fueled with youth
let my heart serve the time
let it live to its repute.
Distracted by the world
Soothed by deceit
Let my heart overcome
the bitter thorns of defeat
Drenched in colors of present
showered in shades of yesterday
Let my heart disregard time and
live tomorrow in a better way.
Worn out by the distance
overcome by remorse
let my heart return
only to find burned doors.

I ripped my heart out
and let it sail in the ocean.
Disillusioned by segregation
a victim of seclusion
let my heart find another

Caressed by echoes
and the sounds of the gone
let the hearts strike a common note
and sing their own song.
Driven by purpose
fueled with youth
let my heart serve the time
let it live to its repute.
Distracted by the world
Soothed by deceit
Let my heart overcome
the bitter thorns of defeat
Drenched in colors of present
showered in shades of yesterday
Let my heart disregard time and
live tomorrow in a better way.
Worn out by the distance
overcome by remorse
let my heart return
only to find burned doors.
