AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Building The Colossus - 04 - "Collective Heart" (1994)

Lyrics:

Collective Heart (4:43)

This collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
This collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy

And I listen to it well, 'cause I put it out
I have some thoughts to sell
Based on love, based on decency
coming from a source I can't begin to trace

Not that reaching out is something physical
I've got to look about for everything
and all there ever was
My community is always here to comfort me

This collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
This collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy
This collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
This collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy

Round the corner lives information I
can turn around and give
Like a heart, recycling what comes in
and pulsing out the breath we take to live

Let me know you all just like I know myself
I've got to hear the call from the great
wide-open space,
I'll never be alone, I never was

This collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
This collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy
This collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
This collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy
