When I get on to the stage
And my heart's pounding
I look around to find
Just one familiar face

I try to use my imagination
The moment the music starts
Just then a voice from inside tells me
To follow my heart

Oh the heart never fails
To open up its sails
And show the way

It comes as such a revelation
When it's time to play your part
A story may end or have a new beginning
But you gotta follow your heart

I sing a line or two
And my senses return
The world's a stage with more than one known face
What a precious thing to learn

The drums jive and the flute dances
As I twirl and march
It's a magical world, a beauty to unfold
When we can follow our heart

It comes as such a revelation
When it's time to play your part
A story may end or have a new beginning
But you gotta follow your heart

Heart to Heart

Follow Your Heart (EP - Heart to Heart)

I see myself as the darkness
You see your self as the light, its
You just a bitch i cant lie, its
I know how you get when you die, its
I know how you get when you die, its

I'm feelin myself I cant help it
I feel like I'm just getting selfish
I'm putting my heart in a furnace
I'm breathing but its just not workin'

A Likely Story

Just trying to draw emotion from and into song... from forthcoming 2022/2023 album Passive Persistence.

Just A Shell Of Me
-------------------

What's going on with my relationships
What's going on inside my head
Am I not saying what I'm meaning
Are you not hearing what I've said

I'm getting to the point of giving up
It seems to always end the same
Against the odds always the bad guy
If I just lose why play the game

Now you've gone away
We can't go back
To the way things used to be
And so I face another day
A lesser man
Just a shell of me

I wish you could have seen my thought clouds
I think they might have helped a lot
They would have let you know I loved you
When all my clumsy words did not

I'm beside myself
With no one here to hold me
No one I can blame
Beside myself

20 United Under One Banner v2

The shortest lyrics I know that tell a whole story is from the Cuban band leader and composer Cachao and consist of three words: the question "Why?" followed by the answer "Why not!" Because of the infectious swing (why dance? - Why not!) it is pretty brilliant in a simple way. 

The same goes for Mabelé, a song in Lingala from Congolese singer Kevin Mfinka. Those simple (through the whole song repeated) four lines express humbleness, acceptance and gratitude. I think it's a gem and that's why i love to play it.

[Translation]
Earth is my body 
My body is the earth 
One day I'm going under the earth 
You stayed to take care of my kids
