Take My Heart

Take my heart and hold it tight
When the shadows steal my sight.
Take my hand, like a childhood friend
We’ll climb the hill as the night descends.
Take my feet where e’re you’d run,
Across the moon, beyond the sun.
Take my head, so full of dread;
Give me a dream of you instead…
Take my eyes, they’re open wide;
You’ve shown me there’s no place to hide
Take my ears with whispered tones;
Plant your secrets in my bones.
Take my chin and lift it up
From this ancient, lonely cup.
Take my mouth and help it to sing
This song of love and healing.
Take my heart and hold it tight
When the shadows steal my sight.
Take my hand, like a childhood friend
We’ll climb the hill as the night descends.
Take my feet where e’re you’d run,
Across the moon, beyond the sun.
Take my head, so full of dread;
Give me a dream of you instead…
Take my eyes, they’re open wide;
You’ve shown me there’s no place to hide
Take my ears with whispered tones;
Plant your secrets in my bones.
Take my chin and lift it up
From this ancient, lonely cup.
Take my mouth and help it to sing
This song of love and healing.
