Listen to my heartbeat It proves that I exist; Feel its rhythmic drumming Strumming beneath my wrist. Listen to my pain cry It proves that I endure; Feel its anguished screaming Streaming, unchecked and pure. Listen to my anger It proves that I can feel; Feel its heated raging Waging battles surreal. Listen to me praying It proves that I can hope; Feel my urgent pleading Needing God�s grace to cope. Listen to my joy sing It proves that I can mend Feel the warmth and healing Revealing hatred�s end. Listen to my heartbeat It proves that I survive; Feel its power surging Urging my soul to thrive.

Like this best:

"Listen to my joy sing
It proves that I can mend..."

But I also agree with Oisin - that first stanza pulls you right in.
