Michael Gleason: Heart of stone [lyrics]

Michael Gleason

Heart of stone

Locked inside a fortress

Wall after wall

Pleading for a breath of air

Desperate dreams of freedom

Vaguely recalled

Nothin' in the world

That I wouldn't do

Give everything I own

Just to feel the blood in my veins

I need you to

Breathe on this heart of stone

Turn me to flesh and bone

Breathe on my heart of stone

And bring it back to life again

Oh, breathe on me

Barren halls and chambers

Cold to the core

Each one bleaker than before

And here amid the ruins

Of a broken man

I'm lookin' for the miracle

Of resurrection again

I need you to

Breathe on this heart of stone

Turn me to flesh and bone

Don't let it die

One chance and one alone

Breathe on this heart of stone

And bring it back to life again

Silent, the sculpture stands

Unseen in the stone

The sculptor is carving its prison away

And little by little, I feel it

There's no mistakin' it now

I can tell it's just a matter

Of waiting it out

Every day another wall comes down

And here amid the ruins

Of a broken man

I'm lookin' for the miracle

Of resurrection again

I need you to

Breathe on this heart of stone

I need you to breath on me

Turn me to flesh and bone

One chance and one alone

One chance and one alone

Breathe on my heart of stone

And bring it back to life again

Ooh-ooh, breathe on me

Oh-oh, breathe on me
