not enough to console

what words there are have not the vital force
there's never sufficient healing in our hearts
life proceeds onwards in its normal course

whether on foot or on mounted on high horse
we aren't required to do more than our parts
what words there are have not the vital force

stream must flow full strength from the source
the waterwheel provides the blow that smarts
life proceeds onwards in its normal course

life's not to be priced or traded on the bourse
the heart's made vulnerable by pointed darts
what words there are have not the vital force

the moment's one that calls out for remorse
but that may cause more pain than all our arts
life proceeds onwards in its normal course

this is the point where sense and heart divorce
our hearts and minds are far beyond the charts
what words there are have not the vital force
life proceeds onwards in its normal course
