Nora Jane Struthers - Listen With Your Heart lyrics

My daddy said his time is near the end With Momma gone there's just one thing to do So every mornin' we set out from home Ruffles, knots, satchels, and good boots He says, "Darlin', its time you learned to live From the bounty of the land, By the strength of your own hand. There's nothin' the forest doesn't give If you listen with your heart, If you listen with your heart, If you listen with your heart, You'll hear the rhythm of the land. Like a newborn faun at first I was afraid The sparrows' song gave me a start Slowly I learned each creatures melody Dad said I learned to listen with my heart He says, "Darlin', you're learnin to live From the bounty of the land, By the strength of your own hand. There's nothin' the forest doesn't give If you listen with your heart, If you listen with your heart, If you listen with your heart, You'll hear the rhythm of the land. As I gather amps and dandelion greens Pluck a few wild flowers for his grave Check my traps and lines in the stream Hear my Daddy singin' out his praise He says, "Darlin', you have leared to live From the bounty of the land, By the strength of your own hand. There's nothing the forest doesn't give If you listen with your heart x6 When you listen with your heart You are the rhythm of the land.
