Inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley & JD Martin to “My Heart’s Desire” – “Ready to Receive” CD:
“I’ve got the weight of the world tuggin’ on my sleeve, there’s something more precious callin’ me. Those things I never seem to have the time to go, places to go, people to see.
My heart’s desire, been there all the time. My heart’s desire, never too late to find. My heart’s desire.
Clearin’ out the clutter that’s making me drown, all those excuses I’ve been keeping around, living this dream that was always mine, I’m moving up to solid ground.
My heart’s desire, been here all the time, my heart’s desire, never too late to find my heart’s desire.
When I’m afraid, I know that I’m close to everything I want the most, my heart’s desire it’s been here all the time. My heart’s desire, it’s never too late to find.
