Poet's Heart lyrics

I wrote to you somewhere in south australia A poet's heart in the eye of a hurricane I struggle with finding words to sing these days I said As if my thoughts are waiting in the wings For the stage to clear And you in your elegance and humor fill the room Your love and your concern Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear I thank you for being here You wrote of love from the coast of mendocino A poet's heart crying a fighter's tears The children of your body spread out across this earth Like messages written across time Measuring the years And you in your elegance and humor fill the room Your love and your concern Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear I thank you for being here I heard your songs reach out to California
