to do with my heart

don't tell me to be careful.
don't tell me to watch out.
i know exactly what to do with my heart.

i wanna open it
and spread it wide...
lay it out in the sun from side to side.
i wanna stretch it,
expose it,
bare it,
and expand.
and dance it to the love song of a woman and a man.

don't tell me to be normal
i wanna grow up to be like god.
though the way will bring no laurels,
and the gate is all but broad...

i wanna open it and spread it wide,
lay it out in the sun from side to side,
i wanna feel it,
and break it,
and have my beloved take it.
i wanna stretch it and expose it and bare it and expand.
and dance it to the love song of a woman and a man.

don't tell me to protect it,
to control it,
or reject it.
this old advice will be lost on me...
for i've felt that holy moment.
when you're in it then you'll know it!
and your heart will fly so high and you'll be free!!
