I would that you could see my heart
and read the thoughts within
to understand just what it is
that I have locked therein

I would that you could see my heart
and oh what would you find
be it gold or stone or love
I am what lies behind

I would that you could see my heart
to know what I can't say
that secret I just need to share
but you'll find out someday

I would that you could see my heart
behind the image there
that is who I truly am
what keeps me from despair

I would that you could see my heart
and read the thoughts within
then I hope you'll understand
what I have locked therein
