Collective Heartbeat
Studio Version
(Thoughts and actions?) of words you've spoken
Write the scripts of life and open up the possibilities
To choose the role you feel happy in
Positive and negative
Hiding in the fabric of every choice and every wish
So choose a role you feel happy in
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
Here's the card that you've been given
It's not much but its neatly written
Here's the life that you are living
Choose a role that you feel happy in
You get hurt and end up leaving
But to stay is most revealing
Take the knocks and get the meaning
Choose a role you feel happy in
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
(Choose a role you feel happy in) repeat x8
Beat, Beat
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
(You're feeling like a stranger in your own world)
(Listen to the Collective Heartbeat)
(Thoughts and actions?) words you've spoken
write the scripts of life and open up the possibilities
To choose the role you feel happy in
Positive and negative
Hiding in the fabric of
Every choice and every wish
So choose a role you feel happy in
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
(Choose a role you feel happy in) repeat x 8
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
Listen to the Collective Heartbeat
Acoustic Version
There's a person that I know
OK its you and me
Keeps coming up against a brick wall
Always blaming and complaining but sustaining
While their luck doesn't change at all
Obstacles and ridicule
Are common in his head
Does he even listen
To that collective heartbeat
Here's the card that you've been given
Its not much but its neatly written
And here's the life that you are living
Choose a role that you feel happy in
You get hurt and end up leaving
But to stay is most revealing
Take the knocks and get the meaning
Before moving on up to hit the imaginary ceiling
Beyond that firewall is a devastating view
Take the time to listen to the collective heartbeats
Here's the card that you've been given
Its not much but its neatly written
And here's the life that you are living
Choose a role that you feel happy in
You can go round it or under it or over it or back away
Face on, head to head
idle away tomorrow but today
Here's the card that you've been given
Its not much but its neatly written
And here's the life that you are living
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
Choose a role that you feel happy in
(Thoughts and actions?) of words you've spoken
Write the scripts of life and open up the possibilities
To choose the role you feel happy in
Positive and negative
Hiding in the fabric of every choice and every wish
So choose a role you feel happy in
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
(Choose a role you feel happy in)
Here's the card that you've been given
It's not much but its neatly written
Here's the life that you are living
Choose a role that you feel happy in
