Lyrics Oh My Heart - R.E.M.

The kids have a new take, a new take on faith
Pick up the pieces, get carried away
I came home to a city half-erased
I came home to face what we faced

This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart

Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)

The storm didn't kill me, the government changed
Hear the answer and call, hear this song, rearranged
Hear the trees, the ghosts and the buildings, sing
With the wisdom to reconcile this thing

It's sweet, and it's sad, and it's true
How it doesn't look bitter on you

Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)

Mother and father, I stand beside you
The good of this world might help see me through
This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart

Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)

Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
