Jacqueline Govaert - Hear How My Heart Beats

Winter took a lifetime
Froze my bones
Swallowed daylight

I wonder through the shadows
When the sun sqeezed
through my window

Hear how my heart beats
Playing out to the drums
Feel how the earth moves
Warmed by the sun
My soul's up and singing out
My body grooving
Bare feet in the gras
Hear how my heart beats
Pounding out on my chest Snow stuck... on the rooftops
While I was... drinking teardrops
The city's... slowly rising
and the blossom... softly shining

Hear how my heart beats
Playing out to the drums
Feel how the earth moves
Warmed by the sun
My soul's up and singing out
My body grooving
Bare feet in the grass
Hear how my heart beats
Pounding out on my chest

No pain no gain I've heard it all
No hurt no shame won't make you grow
But I yearn for seas of green
And dressed up trees

Hear how my heart beats
Playing out to the drums
Feel how the earth moves
Warmed by the sun
My soul's up and singing out
My body grooving
Bare feet in the gras
Hear how my heart beats
Pounding out on my chest
