Heart of Soft (a new song of mine!)

Heart of Soft
(my song's working title -- got a better one? please share! Hope you enjoy it.)

_________

A heart of soft / and a mind of steel,
And these two things / will help you feel,
I've thought oft, of a heart that's soft,
and a mind of steel.

Laughing often, and loving much,
A helpful hand, a baby's touch,
one more moment, with the ones you love,
Laughing often and loving much.

BRIDGE:
Words were spoken by a man in his dying day.
He said, "Child, if you want to live, don't let time blow away."

a second mile / a higher road,
a better friend / a lighter load,
ears to hear / the grace bestowed,
a desert quenched / as the water flowed.

Salt of earth / a common man,
sacrifice / take a stand,
an amputee / made whole again,
for the greater good / and the common man.

BRIDGE:
With every breath it seems, we're closer to our graves.
Let's live our lives and do what's right to make our better days.

A heart that's soft / and a mind of steel,
And it's these two things / that help us feel.
Set your thoughts aloft / with a heart that's soft,
and a mind of steel.
