Sam Phillips Beating Heart lyrics

How long have I got before common days become legend?
How long have I got till this dream of life becomes heaven?
Oh, life passed too fast
It's hard to know it won't last forever

How long have I got before passion gives up its fire?
How long have I got before time strangles desire?
Oh, my fear is to leave here
Never having really arrived

Who can hear my beating heart
Pounding so, wanting more?
Who can hear my beating heart
Pounding on the door?


How long have I got to make mistakes and be wiser?
How long have I got to learn to be less of a liar?
Oh, to face my best try
I know I need someone who is higher

How long have I got to answer a higher calling?
How long have I got to walk the line without falling?
Oh, needing meaning, wanting to know
Just what I'm here for
