This is the beat
that stops the heart-
listen,
tap your feet to the rhythm,
soft like a whisper,
declared like a battle cry.
If you don't let it live,
your heart,
oh it shall beat
like the feeble wings of angels
who dare not reach the sky.
little kiddies on the playground
please don't stop my heart.
Swing around around around,
smiles played upon your face
but don't little feet fall
one beat out of place.
