Edda
The term "Edda" (/ˈɛdə/; Old Norse Edda, plural Eddur) applies to the Old Norse Prose Edda and has been adapted to fit the collection of poems known as the Poetic Edda which lacks an original title. Both works were written down in Iceland during the 13th century in Icelandic, although they contain material from earlier traditional sources, reaching into the Viking Age. The books are the main sources of medieval skaldic tradition in Iceland and Norse mythology.
Etymology
There are several theories concerning the origins of the word edda. One theory holds that it is identical to a word that means "great-grandmother" appearing in the Eddic poem Rígsþula. Another theory holds that edda derives from Old Norse óðr, "poetry". A third, proposed in 1895 by Eiríkr Magnússon, is that it derives from the Icelandic place name Oddi, site of the church and school where students, including Snorri Sturluson, were educated. A fourth hypothesis—the derivation of the word Edda as the name of Snorri Sturluson’s treatise on poetry from the Latin edo, "I compose (poetry)", by analogy with kredda, "superstition", from Latin credo, "creed"—is now widely accepted, though this acceptance may stem from its agreement with modern usage rather than historical accuracy. There is also suggestion from local Icelandic scholars that the Edda is the same Norse root as Sanskrit 'Vedas' meaning 'knowledge'.

Heart
by: EddaSoon son you'll understand the things that
I said to teach you wrong and right
Through your years I can only hope for you
A richer happy on your mind
Someday son when you need my words
But I can't be there for you
Take your box of lessons learned
And make your dreams come true
Between reaching for the stars in the sky
Your bound to missing once in a while
It's not if you loose or win the game
It's a word you choose for the sake of a smile
What you can see's only part of the man
Best can only come from within you
Bigger your heart the better you win
Trust the part that comes from within
Stand against your fears and give
Them one last chance to fight
Brave the storms of life before your
Too old to enjoy the night
Doors to where you want to be
Will open once, you know
It's not your size that gives the strength
Your heart can steal the show
Between reaching for the stars in the sky
Your bound to missing once in a while
It's not if you loose or win the game
It's a word you choose for the sake of a smile
What you can see's only part of the man
Best can only come from within you
Bigger your heart the better you win
Trust the part that comes from within
What you can see's only part of the man
Best can only come from within you
Bigger your heart the better you win
Trust the part that comes from within
What you can see's only part of the man
Best can only come from within you
Bigger your heart the better you win
Trust the part that comes from within
What you can see's only part of the man
Best can only come from within you
Bigger your heart the better you win
Trust the part that comes from within
What you can see's only part of the man
Best can only come from within you
Bigger your heart the better you win
Trust the part that comes from within
Trust the part that comes from within
