All This And Heaven Too

And the heart is hard to translate
 It has a language of its own
 It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
 And prayers and proclamations
 In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures
 In short, shallow gasps
 But with all my education I can't seem to command it
 And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
 And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
 I can't seem to understand it
 And I would give all this and heaven too
 I would give it all if only for a moment
 That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
 'Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all
 And it talks to me on tiptoes
 And it sings to me inside
 It cries out in the darkest night
 And breaks in the morning light
 But with all my education I can't seem to command it
 And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
 And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
 I can't seem to understand it
 And I would give all this and heaven too
 I would give it all if only for a moment
 That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
 'Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all

 No words and poor language
 It doesn't deserve such treatment
 And all of my stumbling phrases never amounted
 To anything worth this feeling
 All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I'm healing
 Words were never so useful
 So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before
