All Inside Your Heart

Sara Messenger © 1989

Always looking for love and you tell me it’s slim pickings
Always making that singles scene and you’re tired of looking
You’ve tried every oddball angle with every type and gender
Still you’ve never really been truly in love
For as long as you can remember
But it’s all inside your heart, all inside your heart

Now we’ve been friends and we’ve hung tight and run together
Yet I know only to count on you in fair weather
Your philosophy is to never be a borrower or a lender
But you’re as tight with your love as you are
With the other kind of tender
You keep it all inside your heart, all inside

You’ll find love in the strangest places
If you live with feeling
Not just the romantic kind,
It gives you such a healing
All inside your heart

You live here in the city
Where a whole world of souls surround you
Just change their names to friend from strange
And the difference will astound you
You’d find them all inside your heart, all inside

You’ll find love in the strangest places
If you live with feeling
Not just the romantic kind
But anywhere you find another chance to care
Things only seem separated by the air
Let yourself forgive them for what isn’t there
Gives you such a healing
All inside your heart

Now don’t the picture look better to you
With your eyes open?
And don’t that river of trust flow easy
When you leave the circle unbroken?
How can the rhythm stir you
When your very body is hard of hearing?
You’ve gotta dance without a shadow of doubt
It keeps the fear interfering
With what is all inside your heart
All inside your, all inside your, all inside your heart
