HEART OF THE MATTER W/M: Bob Bennett I'm just a man In a world full of men just like me With a heart full of questions and answers That seem to be somewhat connected And a head full of preconceived notions That manage to get in the way And I find myself longing to return Back to the place where I started Back when I knew next to nothing Back to the heart Back to the heart of the matter To the heart of the matter Hearts alternate Between tears and rage A short journey through the human zoo In this mortal cage Words, like weapons Ask no questions as they kill People, wounded Once dancing, now they're standing still And all these things I can't explain They keep on running 'round my brain And drive me deep, deep to heart To the heart of the matter Lamb to the slaughter Well aware of the consequence Saving fallen men Living and dying in this present tense So many things I can't explain They lose and confuse me again and again They drive me deep, deep to the heart To the heart of the matter A light shining in this heart of darkness A new beginning and a miracle Day by day the integration Of the concrete and the spiritual You can show me your sales curves Plot my life on a flow chart You can count up your converts And miss where it all starts You can show me your sales curves There's just some things that numbers can't measure These fragile pieces of priceless treasure There's just some things that numbers can't measure In matters of the heart Matters of the heart
