Heart be still,
there's always tomorrow.
Heart be wise,
there's light beyond sorrow.
Heart be true,
and open to love.
Heart beware,
of getting what
you're dreaming of
Heart behave
when you act so reckless
you'll get what you're
asking for, a change
to celebrate the strange
ain't that what hearts are for?

This is fabulous. I feel like it would be PERFECT in a movie. I really love the second stanza (chorus?) when you reach higher. Nice to celebrate the strange!

I love your lyrics and song structure. It's simple and powerful. I deff agree with @the3queens that it feels "like you're voicing a long-buried secret truth". Your delivery of the lyrics really pulled me in and your piano playing is beautiful. Bravo!

You had me at piano. But when you start singing, the lyrics just pull me in like you're voicing a long-buried secret truth. I can't even describe it.

This is an excellent example of economy of words. Lots of affirmation, and power, and an implied story with pain in the past - but all the while, ultimately endearment to the human condition. So many conflicting emotions, evoked and dealt with, zooming in on one moment of reflection. I'm impressed and moved.
