Beating Heart

How long have I got

Before common days become legend

How long have I got

'til this dream of life becomes heaven

Oh, life passed too fast

It's hard to know it won't last forever

How long have I got

Before passion gives up it's fire

How long have I got

Before time strangles desire

Oh, my fear is to leave here

Never having really arrived

Who can hear my beating heart

Pounding so, wanting more

Who can hear my beating heart

Pounding on the door

How long have I got

To make mistakes and be wiser

How long have I got

To learn to be less of a liar

Oh, to face my best try I know

I need someone who is higher

How long have I got

To answer a higher calling

How long have I got

To walk the line without falling

Oh, needing meaning, wanting to know

Just what I'm here for
