Lyrics

Fill Your Heart

[Verse 1]

Fill your heart with love today

Don't play the game of time

Things that happened in the past

Only happened in your mind

Only in your mind

Oh, forget your mind

[Chorus]

And you'll be free, yeah

The writing's on the wall

Free, yeah

And you can know it all if you choose

Just remember, lovers never lose

'Cause they are free of thoughts unpure

And of thoughts unkind

Gentleness clears the soul

Love cleans the mind and makes it free

[Verse 2]

Oh, happiness is happening

The dragons have been bled

Gentleness is everywhere

And fear's just in your head

Only in your head, fear is in your head

Only in your head, so forget your head

[Chorus]

And you'll be free

The writing's on the wall

Free, yeah

And you can know it all if you choose

Just remember, lovers never lose

Because they are free of thoughts unpure

And of thoughts unkind

Gentleness clears the soul

Love will clean your mind and make you

Fuh-ree-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee, yeah!

[Outro]

Free-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Free-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Free-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Free-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Free-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Free-yeah
