Rick Springfield Religion of the Heart song lyrics

His hair was bible black, face like a priest

His fingers clutched the precious box and silent as a dream

He hid behind the dark sunglasses

You caught your breath

You thought he was beautiful

You didn't hear his silent scream

As he spread the dead man's ashes

Your always trying to find your worth

In the eyes of someone new

You may not think you need this baby but I think you do

You need Religion Of The Heart, Religion Of The Heart

(deep in your system)

You're just searching in the dark

For a reason to believe

You need Religion Of The Heart

You raise your glass, you drink their wine

But you're still thirsty all the time

No miracles tonight, and you'll skip the midnight masses

It'll be okay in the cool clear, bright light of the day

But you just seem so scattered

As though nothing mattered baby

You're always trying to heal yourself in someone else's skin

Turn the thieves out of the temple baby and let it in

You need Religion Of The Heart, Religion Of The Heart

(deep in your system)

You're just searching in the dark

For a reason to believe

You need Religion Of The Heart

Oh, you think that I am only joking, and it all comes down to nothing

And I'm just talking to your fear but I 'm not

No, I'm not, and you stand in the field of fire

You need Religion Of The Heart, Religion Of The Heart

(deep in your system)

You're just searching in the dark

For a reason to believe

You need Religion Of The Heart

Religion Of The Heart
