Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Philosophical song lyrics )
HEART OR SOUL
Copyright © 1999 - mickterry.com

1: I don't want to dig too deep into academics,
and for sure, it's not to creep into pure polemics,
but I'd like to ascertain in the middle of my brain,
is it the heart or is it the soul that has gone & lost control?
Is it the heart or is it the soul that's epidemic?

CHORUS:
Is it the heart or is it the soul
where you reside so deep inside of me?
Is it the part or is it the whole
that's preoccupied by what's decidedly warm & cozy?

2: I'm content in maybe not finding out the answer,
but this yearning deep inside has grown like a cancer.
You've consumed so much of me with a speed I can't believe.
Is it the part or is it the whole that might need to be cajoled?
Is it the part or is it the whole that's now in danger?
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
In ancient Babylon, the thinking of the day
was that the liver was the seat of the emotions.
Could it be they weren't far wrong in an "in-organic" way?
Or is the heart, in fact, at the heart of such commotion?

3: Sure, the question's not worth all of this consternation
and I'd rather not provoke any more frustration.
Is it me still at the helm or completely overwhelmed?
Is it the part or is it the whole that must always be patrolled?
Is it the heart or is it the soul that feels elation?
CHORUS:
