MINISTER
Stories of passion
Stories of friendship
and tales of how romance survives
GORDON SCHWINN
I have so many songs
MINISTER
Stories of yes-es
of frogs making messes
and poor unsuccessful and fat people's lives
GORDON SCHWINN
Stories of living
Stories of dying
and ways we can deal with our fear
Stories of horses, parental divorces
and how rich or poor, it's a very small sphere
where we appear
But you gotta have heart and music
Heart and music
Heart and music get along
ENSEMBLE
You gotta have heart and music
You gotta have heart and music
Heart and music make a song
GORDON SCHWINN
If I only had the time
What I would write for your delight
MINISTER
Stories of illness
GORDON SCHWINN
Stories of illness
MINISTER
Songs of improving
GORDON SCHWINN
Songs of improving
ENSEMBLE
And everyone talks about change
GORDON SCHWINN
I have so many songs
ENSEMBLE
Stories of stillness,
of people not moving
GORDON SCHWINN
And throwing out books when things turn out too strange
We rearrange
ENSEMBLE
But you gotta have heart and music
Heart and music
Heart and music get along (you gotta have heart and music)
You gotta have heart and music
You gotta have heart and music
Heart and music make a song
Oh, you gotta have heart and music
You gotta have Heart and music
Heart and music get along
Oh you gotta have heart and music
You gotta
Heart and music make a song
You'll always get along with your heart
With your heart and music
GORDON SCHWINN
Heart and music make
ENSEMBLE
Heart and music make
Heart and music make a song
Heart and music make a song
