Heart Of The World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tin cans rattling the pavement
Confetti scattered everywhere
She falls asleep in the seat beside me
Rice caught up in her hair
I don't mind it, I keep driving
Flying on these wheels of steel
A bit anxious, a bit nervous
The moment's all that we can feel

[Chorus]
If oil is the soul of the engine
And wine is the drink of the gods
Forgiveness the road to redemption
Faith can still beat the odds
We're meant to be, baby, hold on to me
You'll never not be my girl
'Cause love is the heart of the world

[Verse 2]
I leave him sleeping as I rise early
Always up before the dawn
The house is dark, but I see clearly
Kettle sings a morning song
The bacon's frying, babies crying
I soak up the sights and sounds
Minutes turn to days and I wish that I could slow it down
[Chorus]
But if grease is the soul of the kitchen
And coffee the drink of the gods
Routine too perfect to mention
Time is a thief I would rob
We're meant to be, baby, hold onto me
I'll never not be your girl
'Cause love is the heart of the world

[Bridge]
Oh, and hope is the soul of the dreamer
And heaven is the home of my God
It only takes one true believer
To believe you can still beat the odds

[Outro]
We're meant to be, baby, hold onto me
You'll never not be my girl (I'll never not be your girl)
'Cause love is the heart, love is the heart
Love is the heart of the world
