Is there a heart so cold, That can't be warmed by a friendly smile? A heart so hardened, That it won't be softened By the tears of a hurt child, Or a gesture of kindness From a close friend? Some say, there is but one Heart, And when It beats, It beats for all... Young and old, Rich and poor, Kind and cruel, Just and unjust, You and me, Him and her, And all the rest. It keeps the beat For Everyone! Perhaps This Great Drum never stops It's endless loving beat Till the last human heart Is still? For isn't it we alone, all together, That makes this Heart Beat out its song? What point would there be To maintain this rhythm When everyone Is gone?

"The Heart That Always Beats"
Is there a heart so cold, That can't be warmed by a friendly smile? A heart so hardened, That it won't be softened By the tears of a hurt child, Or a gesture of kindness From a close friend? Some say, there is but one Heart, And when It beats, It beats for all... Young and old, Rich and poor, Kind and cruel, Just and unjust, You and me, Him and her, And all the rest. It keeps the beat For Everyone! Perhaps This Great Drum never stops It's endless loving beat Till the last human heart Is still? For isn't it we alone, all together, That makes this Heart Beat out its song? What point would there be To maintain this rhythm When everyone Is gone?
