Matter of the Heart

Are you in pain?
Take a minute
Let's explore this question
See what's in it

Are you worth your salt?
I mean you've got the scars
Peel back the layers
It's the only way
You'll know for sure

Have you ever noticed
Life dresses up our stories
It does this so
We never look inside
Gives us a place to hide
Oh, those crazy costumes

We live blood sweat
Even gallons of tears
But we've never question
What the hell we're making
Salt pain salt pride salt fears

Shadow's collective gold
Oil for the tinman
In the wizard of oz
We only need apply it
Everyone asks why
But they never imagine
The answer is simple
Because

In our lowest moments
When we're hurting so much
Something smooth
Bubbles to the surface
If we learn to use it
We're worth our salt

All of that suffering
Makes salt break apart
It's a spiritual moment
Because
We're making
Matter of the heart

When we sit with our pain
It's a time to ponder
In our deepest struggle
We're making salt
Matter of the heart

In this painful art
Lies our truest answers
Every salted tear
Every broken feeling
Matter of the heart

Salt love salt hope salt joy
Every day we're healing
Its matter of the heart
Every tear every scar every part
Matter of the heart

When we sit with our pain
It's a time to ponder
In our deepest struggle
We're making salt
Matter of the heart

In this painful art
Lies our truest answers
Every salted tear
Every broken feeling
Matter of the heart

Salt love salt hope salt joy
Every day we're healing
Its matter of the heart
Every tear every scar every part
Matter of the heart

Salt love salt hope salt joy
Every day we're healing
Salt love salt hope salt joy
Its matter of the heart
