Heartbeats

I once knew a man who thought he had meaning
A man whose life he thought he was leading
He thought he knew what had meaning
Until he found out what is real, a sort of feeling
Cause he knew the lies from which he was feeding
Then this mans heart was beating

I once knew a man who cared about nothing
everything about life, it was just hunching
He lacked intimacy, and friendship, and meaning
and for that, he took the beating
But one day he opened up to what he was dealing
and now a new life, he seems to be leading

He found what has truth, value, and worth
and he held onto them forever
and to those he held, they witnessed a re-birth
A relationship never to be severed

This man I knew looked back and saw his life
From the past he saw it as a darkened mess
And realized who paid the price
Meaning said he had much, but he knew he had less

From looking back he then looked forward
And with support from above he found meaning
Meaning that was refreshed and new
He found something to live for
Someone to live for
With a beating heart
