you say it’s hard to make
your heart flutter right now
and i can almost feel
the fear and hesitation
in all of those words
maybe you’re scared that
your heart is empty right now
that what’s about to happen
will shake up and shatter
your heart like a glass jar
but let me tell you:
your heart can’t lose
and it can’t be contained
your heart is not glass
it is sky
and when i come around
i’ll blow away the storms
my wind easing your fears
till the sunshine of your heart
takes over and warms us both
maybe you think
your heart will harden
like a stone, unable to move
from hurtful words heard before
but let me tell you:
your heart is a dancer
sometimes missing a step
sometimes missing a beat
throwing off the rhythm of your life
or so it feels
but the song will change
and i will be your partner
catching you, spinning you
when you leap across the floor
giving you sweet music
to make your heart
sway and groove
until the last instrument
of your life’s breath stops
maybe no one can make
your heart flutter
but i know how to make
your heart dance
a new song
all you have to do
is take my hand
when the band
starts playing
