Heart Song

Lyrics

[Intro: KB] Yeah, I'd like to dedicate this song to two good friends of mine; Phil Wonder and Jasmine Le'Shea [Verse 1: KB] Yeah, I wish I could've been there When you first got the news I had nothin' to share, I just wanted to be there for you Weep, please use my shirt We plead 'til our eyes hurt Look, we ain't gotta speak We'll be bleak, please, it'll be fine son The doctor said head is barely operable It's got your brain lobe and when they go in here it's gotta go When you're awake walkin' and talkin' will be an obstacle It's hard to feel hope writin' your will at 27 years old But you never said I'm too young for this Not a mumblin', grumblin' word on your tongue and lips Like, "God why?", lift up your chin and pump your fist Like all these years of lovin' Him and this is what I get? You know I had to cry, lookin' in your eyes You said in your life or death, Christ will be glorified This muscle in my chest is broken, leakin' but I'm in Jesus But something's underneath it A heart that never stops beatin' [Chorus: Jasmine Le'Shea] Underneath these broken pieces there's a heart That never stops When you feel your life is bleedin' There's a heart That never stops, that never stops beatin' [Verse 2: KB] I wish I could've been there when she found it was surgical That the thing affectin' her airports was terminal I could see the devastation on her parents' faces Your baby girl has a bad heart and it needs replacement Born this way, we can't medicate it Somebody has to die with a good heart, then we'll exchange it Some sort of substitute, or she won't survive John Q in real time, she needs a savior But she had one, at 14 it went down Heart transplant so this one would be the second round But this procedure isn't near as crucial as the first Cause this new heart will stop beatin' even if it works She didn't dwell on all the stuff that she would never be "If I don't get picked from this list Eternal joys ahead of me" The nurse said she's in denial that's why she keeps a smile No, she hoped to God and the donor came at the right time That's why you hear her singin' now [Chorus: Jasmine Le'Shea] Underneath these broken pieces there's a heart That never stops When you feel your life is bleedin' There's a heart That never stops, never stops beatin' [Verse 3: KB] I might not know what the answer is But I know what the answer isn't It can't be that He doesn't care or He's nonexistent Sufferin's a problem and why many are rejectin' God But just cause you don't know the answer Doesn't mean there isn't one What if God's plan for pain isn't for you to skip it We need the nightmare to appreciate not bein' in it Deeper the pain, deeper the game upon it's endin' Plus God will take our pain so serious He joined us in it Jesus suffered like none other when He was on the cross Why do the good die? That only happened once But the good rise, but not for good guys He gives new hearts and eternal life to the ones who should die He gives our pain purpose, this is not in vain We endure, in joy, for the end joy of seein' His face It'll all make sense then Years of sufferin' made up for in an instant [Bridge: Jasmine Le'Shea] This may be the last breath that I take but it's okay It's fine by me, oh If for some reason I'm not here when you wake, it's okay I'm where I need to be, oh [Outro: KB] The average life span of a heart transplant is 10-15 years My dear sister Jasmine is on year 11 And as I get to know her, the more I find out No matter what happens she has a heart that will Never stop beating I love it, yeah
