1) Pumping blood and oxygen
A machine mortal as all men
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
2) It's the hand that shapes your moods
It's so strong but it so easily wounds
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
Bridge 1:
Sometimes that pulse is strong
Sometimes there's nothing –where's it gone?
Though all joy and pain
It takes the strain and carries on
3) Hidden by a shield of bone
Wishing it was not so all alone
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
4) Helping us in times of stress
Beating fast as we undress
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
Bridge 2:
Sometimes I find when I
Take a look inside that it's gone
Then you look my way
And it's back to stay where it belongs
5) Built to a simple plan
And yet so hard to understand
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
6) Once so bright and bold
Now dull and hard as we grow old
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
Bridge 3:
Sometimes that pulse is strong
Sometimes there's nothing –where's it gone?
Though all joy and pain
It takes the strain and carries on
7) Now the ravages of time
And fading memories gone by
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
8) Stained forever red and
Feeling things that can't be said
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for
That's what your heart's for...
