Oh, you wayward heart
You jump and dance while the sun is shining
You twirl in the breeze, smiling as it rustles the leaves
You flitter like a butterfly, no cares, no worries
Yet as the clouds roll in, you seem to pause
Looking with trepidation, you begin to shake
Your skip turns to a run as you shutter with fear
You scurry for shelter, no courage, no resolve
As the lightening strikes and the thunder explodes
You cower and quake even in the eye of the storm
You forsake any promise, any proclamation of hope
Oh, wayward heart, how quickly you have forgotten
