Heavyhearted World - Ben Harper, Ellen Harper

It’s Christmas morning in the psych ward

There’s a flight risk today so a nurse guards the door

There’s a man in the corner who sounds just like me

Rambling on about time square new years eve

If i could only forget what I’m supposed to know

If i could only keep from sinking so low

Strapped me down and into the void i was hurled

With nowhere else to turn in this heavyhearted world

Traded our rage for broken bones

Traded our fear for someplace to call home

Traded a lifetime for one long day

Nothing is more beautiful than to fade away

Fear and the memory of painful youth

It prepared us for the painful truth

So gather only what’s sacred summons all of your courage

And walk with me into this heavyhearted world
