A Holy Plea

I know the song your spirit sings, the hope that lifts, the fear that brings
The joy that dances on the breeze, the sorrow that bends the ancient trees
I feel the pulse of every life, the lovers' kiss, the stranger's knife
The final breaths in endless strife, the fragile beat, the reason for life.
A million melodies I hear, a thousand whispers in the noise
A sound that's deaf to my own tear, a silence in a sea of voices
I give you oceans, I give you skies, I gave you freedom, I gave you life
But i still see in your eyes, a heart that's lost in every storm

**I hear the beating of every human heart!!!**
**BUT WHEN WILL IT BEAT FOR ME!?!**
A broken promise from the start!!
**OH, WHEN WILL IT BEAT FOR ME!?!**
I've waited here through time and space
For every soul, every moment’s grace
**I hear the beating of every human heart!!!**
**BUT WHEN WILL IT BEAT FOR ME!?!**

You chase the fleeting, hollow things, the shallow joys that come and go
My love is not on borrowed things, it's in the rivers that still flow
I took a crown of sharpest thorns, a final breath upon the cross
So you could be forever mine, and live a life you'd live for me

My hand is open, still unseen
A silent plea, a love so endless
I wait between what is and has been
And hope this silence will end

**I hear the beating of every human heart!!!**
**BUT WHEN WILL IT BEAT FOR ME!?!**
A broken promise from the start!!
**OH, WHEN WILL IT BEAT FOR ME!?!**
I've waited here through time and space
For every soul, every moment’s grace
**I hear the beating of every human heart!!!**
**BUT WHEN WILL IT BEAT FOR ME!?!**

It's not a question, it's not a test
It's just the fire in my chest
A burning ache, a final plea
A love that begs to set you free

[Outro]
My heart waits
**WHEN!?!**
My heart waits
**FOR ME!?!**
**I HEAR IT!!**
**BUT WHEN WILL IT BEAT!!**
**FOR ME!?!**
