For The Sake Of My Heart

For The Sake Of My Heart

For the sake of my heart I’m going
To wander the mountains where I was born
For the sake of finding my way again
I must be in this place alone

Where there’s healing in the sun when she rises
And forgiveness when she settles back down in the hills
There’s strength in the love of living
And in knowing how to be still

Have you ever stood at the mountains
As they changed from blue to gray to gold
Watching the painters perfection
Oh what a sight to behold

Can I show you a place in the quiet
Where you can hear the wind humming through the trees
The rustle of wheat that’s dying
And the gravel beneath your feet

Let’s tend to the fire through evening
And watch as it changes the wood to coal
Like the memories we keep on fighting
That burn as they unfold

Where there’s healing in the sun when she rises
And forgiveness when she settles back in the hills
There’s strength in the love of living
And in knowing how to be still
