lyrics

Transplant

a man got into an accident
and he died while i lay in the hospital
why he died - i may never know
but his life is now my own, my own, my own

how do i live like this
with the heart of another man?
how do i live like this?
i may never understand

well, his wife - she gave me a call
and she asked me to go out for a walk
and she cried - as she looked into my eyes
‘cause he was gone now - but, somehow still alive, alive, alive

how do i live like this
with his heart inside my chest
how do i live like this?
how could i be so blessed

well the day - you know it turned as black as night
and his eyes - they were reaching for the sky
why he died - i may never know
but, his life is now my own, my own, my own

how do i live like this
with the heart of another man?
how do i live like this?
i may never understand

how do i live like this
with his heart inside my chest
how do i live like this?
how could i be so blessed
