Oh, Little Heart

Oh little heart, little heart, go into the light
I know it's bright
I know it's hard
But, oh little heart, go into the light

Oh little heart, little heart, open your hands
Let go of demands
Rest your swinging fists
Oh little heart, stop fighting, open your hands

Oh little heart, little heart, rest your weary eyes
He hears your cries
Dry those tears
Oh little heart, so scared, rest your weary eyes

Oh little heart, little heart, listen to what's true
You are being made new
Stop the radio static
Oh little heart, open your ears, listen to what's true

Oh little heart, when you feel the need to hurt
When you feel the need to harm
When the pain you must divert
And your senses you alarm
When other's words you must invert
And your defenses you must arm
When false strength you must exert
And all others you must charm

Oh little heart STOP
Stop pulling away, stop pushing away
Stop the tug of war and relent!
Settle down.
Breathe.
Lament.

Oh little heart, little heart, keep beating slow and steady
With each breath you are more ready
Accept love and concede
Little heart, you deserve to succeed
