Bob Bennett - Heart of the Matter (1982)

Lyrics for HEART OF THE MATTER (Bob Bennett):

I'm just a man / In a world full of men just like me / With a heart full of questions and answers / That seem to be somewhat connected / And a head full of preconceived notions / That manage to get in the way / And I find myself longing to return / Back to the place where I started / Back when I knew next to nothing / Back to the heart / Back to the heart of the matter / To the heart of the matter / Hearts alternate / Between tears and rage / A short journey through the human zoo / In this mortal cage / Words, like weapons / Ask no questions as they kill / People, wounded / Once dancing, now they're standing still / And all these things I can't explain / They keep on running 'round my brain / And drive me deep, deep to heart / To the heart of the matter / Lamb to the slaughter / Well aware of the consequence / Saving fallen men / Living and dying in this present tense / So many things I can't explain / They lose and confuse me again and again / They drive me deep, deep to the heart / To the heart of the matter / A light shining in this heart of darkness / A new beginning and a miracle / Day by day the integration / Of the concrete and the spiritual / You can show me your sales curves / Plot my life on a flow chart / You can count up your converts / And miss where it all starts / You can show me your sales curves / There's just some things that numbers can't measure / These fragile pieces of priceless treasure / There's just some things that numbers can't measure / In matters of the heart / Matters of the heart.
