    PLAYLIST TIME:

    In A Heartbeat

    by: Laura Love

    In a heartbeat fortunes are won - oh
    In a heartbeat worlds collide
    I’ve been told if wishes were horses
    In a heartbeat beggars would ride
    From a steam bed carved a canyon
    Footsteps promise to grow into miles
    From an arrow an empire begun - oh
    First is to stand up and then is to run
    Where is the symmetry that I have dreamed bout?
    Said to be waiting is the beauty on a distant shore
    Idea to moon walking yet people do without
    All what for?
    Bright star spinning feeding all living things
    Eyes holding laughter so soon after tears
    Atom splitting harness the universe
    Tree falling over does anyone hear?
    Earth tone skin writes pages of history
    One shot fires reaches everyone’s ears
    Jubilations replacing the misery
