Ben Harper - Heavyhearted World lyrics

(with Ellen Harper) It’s Christmas morning in the psych ward There’s a flight risk today so a nurse guards the door There’s a man in the corner who sounds just like me Rambling on about time square new years eve If i could only forget what I’m supposed to know If i could only keep from sinking so low Strapped me down and into the void i was hurled With nowhere else to turn in this heavyhearted world Traded our rage for broken bones Traded our fear for someplace to call home Traded a lifetime for one long day Nothing is more beautiful than to fade away Fear and the memory of painful youth It prepared us for the painful truth So gather only what’s sacred summons all of your courage And walk with me into this heavyhearted world
