Oh My Heart Lyrics REM Collapse Into Now

Oh My Heart Lyrics REM

This song is from R.E.M's album, Collapse Into Now. It's a pretty genius lyric from lead singer Michael Stipe with its references to singing buildings and the cross pollination of the concept of tyrannic government with the tryanny of love. Or something. Actually Mike Mills the song is "a hymn of love to the Crescent City with deep-blue brass by the local band Bonerama"

Oh My Heart Lyrics:

The kids have a new take
A new take on faith
Pick up the pieces
Get carried away

I came home to a city half-erased
I came home to face
What we faced
This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

The storm didn't kill me
The government changed
Hear the answer and call, hear this song re-arranged
Hear the trees, the ghosts and the buildings sing
With the wisdom to reconcile this thing

It's sweet
And it's sad
And it's true
How it doesn't look bitter on you

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

Mother and father
I stand beside you
The good of this world might help see me through
This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)

Oh my heart
Oh my heart
(Oh my heart)
