Heartbeat
Bearing down
Our world
Never sleeps

Feel like a Zephyr harmonizing with a flute
Notes are rising in familiar twos and threes
Time of yearning is the same at any age
Back is bending and the sky is growing pale

Sun up sun down fade to a lookalike
Hearts and souls move together in time

One step forward is a leap for all mankind
Man river smiles on all he leaves behind
Ooh when temptation brings you down
I say you better spread yourself around
Red limbs my bodyâ??s torn apart
Boyâ??s hand will squeeze the giantâ??s heart

Sun up sun down fade to a lookalike
Hearts and souls move together in time
If anybodyâ??s listening the giant heartbeat is fading

Fire burns
Water drowns
Hate kills
Our homes
Faith helps
Love heals

Sun up sun down fade to a lookalike
Hearts and souls move together in time
If anybodyâ??s listening
If anybodyâ??s listening
Is anybody listening
The giant heartbeat is fading

    General CommentGenerally a song about lost hope and looking for the thrill of being a boy/young again. The forth verse is the shortest and most succinct description of New Zealand through the eyes of an artist that you'll likely find: displaced and lost people living within a the culture of burnt-out christiainity - faith, love, but no hope.
