Beating Heart
Journey of Reflection: Embracing Life's Beating Heart
Lyrics
How long have I got
Contemplating the duration of existence
Before common days become legend
Reflecting on when ordinary days become legendary
How long have I got
Questioning the time available
'til this dream of life becomes heaven
Asking about the transition from earthly life to heaven
Oh, life passed too fast
Expressing the fleeting nature of life
It's hard to know it won't last forever
Acknowledging the difficulty of accepting life's impermanence
How long have I got
Questioning the remaining time before passion fades
Before passion gives up it's fire
Contemplating the lifespan of passion's fire
How long have I got
Questioning the duration before time diminishes desire
Before time strangles desire
Expressing fear of departing without truly experiencing life
Oh, my fear is to leave here
Reflecting on the concern of not reaching one's destination
Never having really arrived
Who can hear my beating heart
Seeking acknowledgment for one's emotional state
Pounding so, wanting more
Desiring more from life and love
Who can hear my beating heart
Asking if anyone can perceive the emotional intensity
Pounding on the door
Symbolizing the emotional barriers faced
How long have I got
Considering the time available for making errors and gaining wisdom
To make mistakes and be wiser
Contemplating the opportunity to become more truthful
How long have I got
Questioning the time to confront personal falsehoods
To learn to be less of a liar
Expressing the need for guidance from a higher power
Oh, to face my best try I know
Confronting personal shortcomings and the desire for divine assistance
I need someone who is higher
How long have I got
Questioning the time available to respond to a divine calling
To answer a higher calling
Reflecting on the time to pursue a purpose without faltering
How long have I got
Expressing the desire for meaning and understanding one's purpose
To walk the line without falling
Oh, needing meaning, wanting to know
-Just what I'm here for
Expressing the need to comprehend one's existence
