Beating of Hearts

Traveling west in the city,

With the sun low in the sky,

Casting down,

Splinters of silver light,

Into my eyes.

While the clouds start gathering,

Up upon the hills,

Threatening to engulf this world,

Of concrete rectangles.

I hear the rumble of thunder,

Coursing through the streets,

With people,

Moving to a symphony of,

Collective heart beats.

We listen to the pulse of the rain,

Strike our sanctuary,

As the world keeps turning,

Imperceptibly.

Chorus

[Cmaj7] I've been watching life, [Fmaj7] Taking many shapes.

[Am7] Echoing endlessly, [Fmaj7] Among urban landscapes.

[Cmaj7] And I've been hearing love, [Fmaj7] Speaking clear and bright.

[Am7] Rising high above, [D7] These incandescent lights.

[G] From day to night, rain to snow, [G/F]

[Fmaj7] Page to page, the places we go. [Fmaj7/E]

[G] Thinking of life cycles and new starts, [Fmaj7/G]

[D7] And learning to listen, To the beating of hearts.

Up to the mountain,

And down through the plateau,

A new feeling follows us

Wherever we go.

Now the elements crash down,

Unrelenting,

But the heart beats on,

As the city begins to sing.

Chorus (except last line)

[D7] Of constant revolutions and the beating of hearts. [B7]

[Cmaj7] Thinking of futures, re-living of the past, [Fmaj7]

[D7] And learning to listen to the beating of hearts. [B7]

[Am7] Learning to listen,

To the beating of hearts.
