After every song is sang

And every story told

The only thing left on the stage

Will be my heart


In every word I sang

And every question asked

All these things share a home

That home is my heart


I’m bad with words

Straight from the heart

So I put them here

Where I can change them

Refine them

Improve them

I put them where the world couldn’t see

So they’d be ready for the world

So I’d be ready to show the world


But now I’ve shown them

I stand here

With my heart on the stage

Out in front of me


It’s there’s now

I can’t control what they do with it

Maybe they’ll listen

Maybe they won’t

Maybe they never cared at all


But Maybe

Just maybe

My heart will find a home


Maybe it’s that magical place I call home

Maybe it’s that place where I spend my nights thinking

Maybe it’s the one person willing to listen


And maybe my heart’s home

Is right there on the stage

Right there for the world to see


Maybe my heart’s home is me

If only I knew
