Keep your riches and your gold
Iʼm just looking for a hand to hold
Loved and cherished like a work of art
Donʼt you know thereʼs nothing like a tender heart

Tender heart

Who tells a child that they shouldn't cry
Cover those wounds if you want to survive
Carry what you carry through the veil of this life
In spite of your efforts itʼll keep leaking light

That lands on a passage of the book in your hand
A gentle reminder of the promised land
You find in the quiet far from the noise
Where you learn to love all those sorrows and joys

Tender heart
