Beating Heart

Now and then I see a face
That's smiling and I know
That there must be a time and place
For happiness to grow
Though I can't believe the things I've seen
Well it comes as no surprise
I see the children living in our streets
And a need for love denied

And like a beating heart
The world goes on turning

But like a bleeding heart
It's our world that we're burning
And like a beating heart
We can't go on hurting

But our bleeding heart
Just needs a little healing, oh yeah

Time and time again I find
I'm hurting deep inside
And everywhere I look I see
These people who believe
Well my friends I've seen
A million dreams
And a million more we'll see
But our eyes are blinded by disguise
And our ears are deafened
By the lies

And like a beating heart
The world goes on turning
But like a bleeding heart
It's our world that we're burning
And like a beating heart
We can't go on hurting
But like a bleeding heart
We just need a little healing, oh yeah

The joy of life
Is the mystery
Of unexpected love
And to share your love
Unexpectedly
Is a miracle of life

Like a beating heart
The world goes on turning
But like a bleeding heart
It's our world that we're burning
And like a beating heart
We can't go on hurting
But our bleeding heart
Just needs a little healing
