A Matter of Heart
Stan Rogers
EWe live in fear of Ano one to Elove us
Of C#m7feeling like an empty Ahole
No B7kind heart or strengthening hand
To Alight the dark and seeking Esoul
EBehind the walls of Alonely Eprotection
AC#m7fraid to give for what we may Alose
And to B7hide our sin or let someone in
AEveryone will have to Echoose
CHORUS ONE:
EPut your E7life on the Aline
Give your hand and pledge your Etime
To the love whose lips enB7flame you
Like some Aancient and golden Ewine
EAnd to E7all, it's a Astart
In fulfilling greatest needs in Epart
For in whatever we dream of what we B7someday want to Abe
It's a matter of Eheart
We like to think we know what you are doing
We always like to be in control
The rational mind rules the passionate heart
Is what the ancient sages told
But that can sound a little bit hollow
When you are sitting by the fire alone
And the rarest of wine, tastes of ashes and brine
When you've no one there to keep it warm
CHORUS TWO:
Put your life on the line
Give your hand and pledge your time
To the love whose lips enflame you
Like some ancient and golden wine
And to all, it's a start
In fulfilling greatest needs in part
For in whatever we dream of what we someday want to be
It's a matter of heart
The ways in which our pride will stall us
When we know we should be losing control
Puts us in fear of falling
And we let it go
Our careful words are self deceiving
Though we'd like to call them pretense and art
And every old bind, is held in the mind
When it's really just a matter of heart
ENDING: REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

We like to think we know what you are doing

We always like to be in control

The rational mind rules the passionate heart

When you are sitting by the fire alone

And the rarest of wine, tastes of ashes and brine

When you've no one there to keep it warm

CHORUS TWO:

Put your life on the line

Give your hand and pledge your time

To the love whose lips enflame you
