My mother told me every breath Holds the power of life and death My teachers warned me Watch what you sing Whoever's listening will believe When you serve it up on that silver tongue When you serve it up on that silver tongue I hold you with my hands open But you'll stay I bend with your branches When they sway You've sworn you'll never close the circuit But I can see my will is working Conviction for breakfast That's what I keep the hours fed with I'm Heaven-bent on keeping you smiling I'm Heaven-bent on keeping you smiling I hold you with my hands open But you'll stay I bend with your branches When they sway I hold you with my hands open But you'll stay I bend with your branches When they sway
