Train My Heart

from Jongleur by Daniel Mandel

about

This is a song that wrote itself once it started pouring out of me.

lyrics

TRAIN MY HEART
music and lyrics by Daniel Mandel © 2008 Jongleur

I’ve trained my feet to fall
To keep on going after all
In a direction of my choice
But I don’t know if I can train my heart

I’ve trained my mouth to move
So that I can verbalize my truth
And hear the sound of my own voice
But I don’t know if I can train my heart

I don’t know if I can train
My heart to be open stay you

I haven’t found the discipline
When someone’s heart won’t let me in
To walk away like it’s OK
Because I cannot train my heart

I learned what sex should be
Mostly through pornography
Disconnected from the rest of me
Now I have to connect my heart

I’ve trained my hands to play
And then quickly get out of the way
So as not to interfere with the song
But I don’t know if I can train my heart

I end up counting hours like a thief
I don’t want to be paralyzed by grief
I can’t train a feeling not ache
I can’t train my heart not to brake

I’ve trained my eyes to see
To understand what’s in front of me
Now I stand in front of you
I want to open up my heart
