If We Sent Our Hearts over Now - Sara Hickman

I wore my heart out on my sleeve

But then they shot me down

And they left me here to die

If my last kiss is this cold ground

Will I forgive the hand

That held the gun and took my life away

Can’t we take the time of day

To give the world another chance

Can’t we learn from our mistakes

We’re human after all

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it ease the pain?

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it stop the fighting?

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it be enough to save the world?

Well, I can’t believe

I’m the only one who just can’t believe

That this is going on

As I sit in my small cell

Counting scratches on the wall

Scratch my head and start to cry

Chained to this solitary hell

I’m about to lose it all

My last words are to myself

Racing back to the fateful day

I took another human life away

Oh, how I’ve learned from my mistakes

But now I have to pay

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it ease the pain?

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it stop the fighting?

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it be enough to save the world?

Well, I can’t believe

I’m the only one who just can’t believe

This is going on

Oh, can’t we learn from our mistakes?

We’re human, after all

I’m held hostage in a land

Where there’s no brotherhood of man

No one understands what I say

I just make it through each day

As they let me waste away

Somewhere behind the walls of sand

And my situation is unknown

And my captors rule from a thorny throne

Each night I dream that I?

ll soon be home

But I can’t sleep tonight

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it ease the pain?

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it stop the fighting?

If we sent our hearts over now

Would it be enough to save the world?

Well, I can’t believe

I’m the only one who just can’t believe

This is going on

I can’t believe it, no, no

I can’t believe this is going on

I can’t believe it, no, no

I can’t believe this is going on

I can’t believe it, no, no

I can’t believe this is going on

I can’t believe it, no, no

I can’t believe this is going on

I can’t believe it, no, no

I can’t believe this is going on

I can’t believe it, no, no

I can’t believe this is going on
