My heart puts out a soulful song
Of strong lament and awful wrongs
A broken man I have become
Amid the wreck of life humdrum

I open the door, try to see
The base desires inside of me
I shuffle around in the dark
Stumbling over things unmarked

I see the light, I find the door
Looking round, I head cross the floor
I look around but still I see
The base desires inside of me
Wanting harder to right the wrong
My heart puts out its soulful song
