Horace Silver
From the Heart Through the Mind
[Verse 1]
From the heart through the mind we form the power
To be felt and heard when speaking to the one
That will guide us in the solving of our problems
'Til the battle of the self can be won

[Verse 2]
We can stand, sit or kneel while we are speaking
It's of little consequence I'm sure you'll find
But it's most important that we should remember
That we're speaking from the heart through the mind

[Bridge]
The constant repetition of some old and honored phrase
Is surely well intended, we feel
But without the inner feeling that the heart and mind conveys
The words that we are speaking are not real

[Verse 3]
From the heart through the mind we speak sincerely
As if speaking to an old and trusted friend
Having confidence that he will give us guidance
That the mastery of self can begin

[Electric Piano Solo]
[Verse 1]
From the heart through the mind we form the power
To be felt and heard when speaking to the one
That will guide us in the solving of our problems
'Til the battle of the self can be won

[Verse 2]
We can stand, sit or kneel while we are speaking
It's of little consequence I'm sure you'll find
But it's most important that we should remember
That we're speaking from the heart through the mind

[Bridge]
The constant repetition of some old and honored phrase
Is surely well intended, we feel
But without the inner feeling that the heart and mind conveys
The words that we are speaking are not real

[Verse 3]
From the heart through the mind we speak sincerely
As if speaking to an old and trusted friend
Having confidence that he will give us guidance
That the mastery of self can begin

[Outro]
From the heart through the mind
