My Humble Heart's Confines

If I were to humble my beating heart,
bind it in the confines of decency,
I would tether it to the strait and narrow,
and never let its course depart.

I would follow whatever course you chart.
my heart forever in bondage to yours,
never to chaff against ties holding me.
If I were to humble my beating heart.

Love pure love, like the start
of a relationship new and beautiful,
with no need to wander free,
and never let its course depart.

If I were to humble my beating heart,
I would use your compassion as compass,
and never let its course depart.
