Nora Jane Struthers - Listen With Your Heart Lyrics
My daddy said his time is near the endWith Momma gone there's just one thing to doSo every mornin' we set out from homeRuffles, knots, satchels, and good bootsHe says, "Darlin', its time you learned to liveFrom the bounty of the land,By the strength of your own hand.There's nothin' the forest doesn't giveIf you listen with your heart,If you listen with your heart,If you listen with your heart,You'll hear the rhythm of the land.Like a newborn faun at first I was afraidThe sparrows' song gave me a startSlowly I learned each creatures melodyDad said I learned to listen with my heartHe says, "Darlin', you're learnin to liveFrom the bounty of the land,By the strength of your own hand.There's nothin' the forest doesn't giveIf you listen with your heart,If you listen with your heart,If you listen with your heart,You'll hear the rhythm of the land.As I gather amps and dandelion greensPluck a few wild flowers for his graveCheck my traps and lines in the streamHear my Daddy singin' out his praiseHe says, "Darlin', you have leared to liveFrom the bounty of the land,By the strength of your own hand.There's nothing the forest doesn't giveIf you listen with your heart x6When you listen with your heartYou are the rhythm of the land.
