lyrics

Broken Open Hearts - Joanne Rand 2007
ROLLING & ROLLING & FINDING OUR CENTER
THE BROKEN OPEN HEARTS
BROKEN OPEN, OPEN HEARTS
Life it is an apple rolling on the ground
Seeds in every part of it and magic to be found
So rest your head upon my chest and marvel at the site
Where good and bad both reside, dove and raven side by side
And life is short...but wide...when it's broken open!
CHORUS
Life it is a dandelion plucked past its prime
Seeds sail every-which-away and bring me peace of mind
So rest your head upon my chest and marvel at the site
Where birth and death both reside, dawn and darkness side by side
And life is short...but wide...when it's broken open!
Life it is an open sky with clouds that turn
Colors changing endlessly beneath a sun that burns
So rest your head upon my chest and marvel at the sight:
Sun and Moon and Earth and Sky. Ours is not to question why
Is life short...but wide...when it's broken…open, broken…open?
