	Story Behind the Song One of the first songs I ever wrote, it has only had a few minor changes throughout the years. Lyrics Hand Around My Heart Theres a hand around my heart, and it will not let me be Even in the land of dreams I cant escape its reach Theres an anchor on my mind that keeps me from sailing towards the beach And the only light that shines in the darkness is the hope thats on my mind And the memories of how things used to be How was I to know Id get so tangled, entrapped in such short time Desire swallows me within its raging sea Theres a hand around my heart, theres a chain around my soul Although I try so hard I can not keep control Just the power of my thoughts of you rake my mind across the coals And I cant help but wonder if my feelings are what they seem to be So many times my mind is my own misery Maybe cast a gaze into the mirror, confront my enemy But with your sight impaired by tears its hard to see Love is pain, love is life, love is sacrifice Love can take a stone cold heart, love can melt the ice Love can burn and love can kill, love can make new life And we must find the strength to go on through the pain and strife To find the day when well discover the living love can bring into our lives
