[Intro – Gregorian style / low voice] Cor inquietum… Cor inquietum… My restless heart My restless heart [Verse 1] There were years I learned the language Of the ceiling and the sheets How to make a home of silence How to lose and still breathe Then a mercy I still wonder at Came and pulled me to my feet And for five years I walked in sunlight Like the earth was welcoming me Then the shadow crossed the doorway And I knew that sound too well There are wounds that hurt like dying There are others worse than hell [Pre-Chorus] To lose the joy you once recovered To lose the song you learned to sing To lose the life that came back to you That is a different kind of sting [Chorus] My restless heart still reaches out For what was lost, for what I doubt For what I touched, for what I missed For what I never held like this Some grief is memory, some is fire Some is hunger climbing higher My restless heart, it still believes There’s something more than what it sees [Verse 2] I have missed love in the leaving Missed a hand no longer mine Missed the innocence of trusting Missed the world before goodbye I have missed the peace of children In a house I never knew Missed the man I might have been If pain had let me grow straight through And I’ve seen the whole world aching Under laughter, wealth, and noise Some are mourning broken promises Some are mourning unborn joys [Pre-Chorus] And maybe we are made this way To ache beyond what time can give To hunger for a home unbroken To know there’s more than this [Chorus] My restless heart still reaches out For what was lost, for what I doubt For what I touched, for what I missed For what I never held like this Some grief is memory, some is fire Some is hunger climbing higher My restless heart, it still believes There’s something more than what it sees [Bridge / Rap-like flow] I missed health in the body and hope in the soul Missed a version of peace that could make a man whole Missed love in the ashes, missed gold in the rain Missed God in the silence, still called Him by pain And maybe that longing is not just lack Maybe it points to the road that leads us back Maybe the wound and the want and the ache in the chest Are signs that the heart was not made for less [Breakdown] Mi corazón extraña lo eterno My heart is longing for the eternal [Final Chorus – bigger] My restless heart still reaches out For what was lost, for what I doubt For what I touched, for what I missed For what I never held like this Some grief is memory, some is fire Some is hunger climbing higher My restless heart, it still believes There’s something more than what it sees [Outro] Cor inquietum… Until it rests Until it rests in You
