Willi Carlisle - Your Heart’s a Big Tent lyrics
The risin' of the world's closest star
And the almanacs warned us
That the fast-coming weather
Might blow us away like dandelion flowers
And if I had a nickel
For every time I've taken shelter
From the storm
Alone and naked in my bedsheets
I could pay off all my loans
Buy some nicer clothes
Find a job that didn't always scare me
But I've been trying not to think
Before my third cup of coffee
How the heart's a big tent
You gotta let everybody in
Doesn't matter who they are
If they do right or where they've been
Everybody gets in
I think I know a secret
Still not really sure
Somewhere between I'm livin' and I
Believe I can fly
What's up is I saw the devil
In a used book store
He was rippin' up and spittin'
On Catcher in the Rye
And I'm coming to myself
Like a man finding religion
Am I baptized, drowned
Or washed in the blood?
If life's an open field
I'd like to plant a garden
And get ready for the fire and the flood
I need a theory of all love
Like the heart's a big tent
You gotta let everybody in
Doesn't matter who they are
If they do right or where they've been
Everybody gets in
My conclusion's not a great one
I'll leave that to the smarter ones
The soul is an idiot and it doesn't care why
Whatever you do with it
The gift's a pretty simple one
Just sing until you love yourself
And love until you die
I've seen the trees like
Pillars full of blood
Chlorophyllic laughin'
Swaying in their glory
Seen the sparrows in the air
Alight on branches there
And there's no way they're
Afraid of being thirty
If I can't live clean
Than I'd better love dirty
Cause the heart's a big tent
You gotta let everybody in
Doesn't matter who they are
If they do right or where they've been
Everybody gets in
This mornin' a miracle happened as promised
The risin' of the world's closest star
