A Blessing And A Curse

a bleeding heart is both a blessing and a curse
your wakened soul feels compassion for the whole universe
you also take on all the grief and all the hurt
cause a bleeding heart is both a blessing and a curse
yes a bleeding heart is both a blessing a curse

open eyes can't help but see everything
all the love and the goodness, and all the light it brings
they also see the darkness and the suffering
open eyes can't help but see everything
yes open eyes can't help but see everything

you march to your own beat, take things at your own pace
not everyone will understand, but it's alright
you fill the world with beauty, your life itself is grace
what more could you ask of one lifetime?

outstretched hands put real life within reach
so many lessons to be learned, so many truths to seek
there will be a lot of victories and a lot of defeats
cause outstretched hands put real life within reach
yes outstretched hands put real life within reach
