The Heart Of Everything

(album: Peter Allen - 1971)

Remember all you could do
Before they came and told you you were wrong
Remember all you could be
Before they taught you how to tag along
You used to be so brave and strong

We had the touch and taste of life
And everything was clean
I had a colouring book once
I painted all the faces green
I wanted to be heard and seen

And it was love at the heart of everything
I know that love created me so children hold hands
And maybe together we can find
The string to pull us back through time
Before we go completely blind
We left some tangled kites that need unwinding

We've got so much to unlearn
Let's start by letting someone know we're here
Tear down whatever you've built
And let the warmth of everyone come near

There's just no time
There's just no time
There's just no time for guilt or fear

Because it's love at the heart of everything
I know that love created me so children hold hands
And love is at the heart of everything
I know that love
