The Heart // The Lungs

Just as the heart pumps blood to the brain You pump this joy through all of my veins And just as the lungs contract and release You take my breaths and put them at ease Just as the hands destroy and create You build a fortress where fear has no place And just as the heart pumps blood to the brain So too it pumps love at the sound of your name Just as the sword is drawn from the sheath So too we're vulnerable and sharpened clean And just as my head hangs down in shame Someday I'll go to bed and never wake
