Heart and Soul

dedicated to Hook Herrera, whose head will never bow.

Lyrics: Eddy Bonte. Music: Lieven Sienema. This version 18 April 2011, Sant Llorenç de la Muga. 

1

The corn you sow

it will never grow

The clothes you wear

still keep you bare

So if you hit for my head,

I swear it will never bow

2

Illusions in your store

they come cheap

Destroying dreams

you cannot keep

So if you reach for my head,

here’s what I reply instead:

the people I meet

they speak free

they don’t need to think like me

but their souls are in control

and their heads won’t ever bow

3
I spent time

where you’ve never been

I made stuff

no-one’s ever seen

So if you try to blow my soul,

here’s where I’m bound to go:

to the people whose hearts are free

and follow their souls

that will never bow.
