about

PRISONER OF THE HEART
‘I think therefore I am’ was a powerful idea. It's concise, scientific, and high-brow, and it's now generally seen as wrong because we have remembered that emotions also play a very important role. And emotions aren’t clever, and they aren’t concise. They can hurt and they can hijack any situation. Underestimate the human heart at your peril!

lyrics

PRISONER OF THE HEART

One day you’re flying, high as a kite, free as a month of Sundays.
One day you're trying with all your might, but that's only one day.
An arrow flies from who knows where and stabs you like a dart.
Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart.
Another prisoner of the heart…

Digging your heels in, standing your ground, draw a circle around you.
Here's a feeling, what's that sound? The heart, the heart has found you.
Stand still it throws you in the air on a chain of silver parts.
and as it draws you in you are a prisoner of the heart.
Another prisoner of the heart…

You build a big house, sand and straw, the prison of your choosing.
Paint a Red Cross on the door. Safety in illusion.
A wind blows in from who knows where and tears the house apart.
Before you even start you are a prisoner of the heart.
Another prisoner of the heart.

Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart you are .
Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart.

There is no flame inside your heart just bridges that you're burning.
There is one game, play the part with no thought of returning.
We live and learn. We take a turn, and then the journey starts.
As you depart you learn you are a prisoner of the heart
Another prisoner of the heart...

Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart you are .
Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart you are
Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart you are .
Falling like a star you are a prisoner of the heart…

Sing songs of freedom, songs of love, songs as you are leaving.
A song of pleading to heaven above. Songs of self-deceiving.
The heart, the heart, will play its part, but never let you free.
And just like me you'll always be a prisoner of the heart
another prisoner of the heart…

One day you're flying high as a kite free is a month of Sundays.
One day you're flying high as a kite free as a month of Sundays...
