Listen With Your Heart Lyrics - Singles - Nora Jane Struthers

My daddy says his time is near the end 

With mama gone there's just one thing to do 

So every morning we set out from home 

Rifles, knives, satchels and good boots 

He says, "Darlin', it's time you learned to live 

from the bounty of the land, by the strength of your own hand 

there's nothing the forest doesn't give 

if you listen with your heart 

if you listen with your heart 

if you listen with your heart you hear the rhythm of the land."

Like a new born fawn at first I was afraid 

The sparrow's song gave me a start 

Slowly I learned each creature's melody 

Dad says I learned to listen with my heart 

He says, "Darlin', you're learnin' to live 

from the bounty of the land, by the strength of your own hand 

there's nothing the forest doesn't give 

if you listen with your heart 

if you listen with your heart 

if you listen with your heart you hear the rhythm of the land." 

As I gather ramps and dandelion greens 

I pluck a few wild flowers for his grave 

Check my traps and lines in the stream 

Hear my daddy singing out his praise

He says, "Darlin', you have learned to live 

from the bounty of the land, by the strength of your own hand 

there's nothing the forest doesn't give 

if you listen with your heart 

if you listen with your heart 

if you listen with your heart you hear the rhythm of the land."
