Brian Dewan - The Human Heart lyrics

In our day-to-day experience it has always been concealed In the operating theater it now may be revealed I saw the glistening human heart lying in repose So tender and so vulnerable, beating and exposed The human heart is a lustrous thing A wondrous thing, the human heart Look at the patient lying open wide It cannot hide The human heart It has a pa**ionate temperament, as everybody knows Gushing grandiose sentiments as a toilet overflows Throwing violent tantrums and prone to fits of rage It can't keep still, it rolls around in its ribcage The human heart is a preposterous thing A monstrous thing, the human heart Enlisting sympathy with vulgar sobs It pounds and throbs The human heart And yet it lives for love and duty at its own behest A lifetime through of work to do with ne'er a moment's rest Sustaining vital organs, anointing them with blood Devout in its vocation of vital organ-hood The human heart is an untiring thing An inspiring thing, the human heart Despite the heartaches of the rolling years It perseveres The human heart What strange abomination holds fancy over fact What byzantine mutation would love what can't love back What kind of freak of nature forgives a heinous crime And leads us towards as yet untraveled paths to the sublime The human heart is an inscrutable thing An immutable thing, the human heart The human heart is an untiring thing An inspiring thing A preposterous thing A monstrous thing A lustrous thing A wondrous thing The human heart
