AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - The Keep (1995) - 03 - "Collective Heart" (acoustic)
Lyrics:
Collective Heart (4:45)
Unplugged version, live at the World Cafe Spring 1995
Original version on Building The Colossus (1994)
This collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
And 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
And 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
And this collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy
Oh this collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
And 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
Oh 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
Oh this collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
And this collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy
Oh this collective heart pushes the blood through my veins
Feeding my brain of energy
And this collective heart is rushing life to my hands
From every land come synergy
