Letra

I have found a hole in the center of the heart
Through which a thread goes, enters and departs
It's fastened in the middle to inside of me
From where it then continues through the heart of everything
So when I get a feeling like a pulling on the chest
I have to ask if that was me or one of the rest
Sometimes it's painful, sometimes just a tap
Sometimes it happens violently and knocks me on my back
When pain is not just mine alone
That's when I know somebody's tugging on the string
When I start shaking like a tremor in the ground
Or an organ pipe in requiem's resonating sound
Such a fine emotion of such intensity
Takes a hold and I know that it can't be only me
Then I guess that someone maybe far away
Has grown a little tired of the instruments they play
And somehow has discovered that universal thread
And reached out a courageous hand and plucked that chord instead
When life seems like it's only music
Then I know somebody's playing the string
Sometimes when I stand beneath the sky at night
I take up the slack 'til the string is tight
Staring at the stars I take a step or two
And I see them move, I think I see them move
Everything's connected like peas are in a pod
Or beads upon a necklace decorating God
Going around the rosie, we're all in the ring
Hand in hand like a strand through the heart of everything
