Heart Of Seoul
Smiling children on their way to school
Pass by old women selling vegetables,
Pass by their brothers in the Kimchee cabs
That swarm like locusts in the heart of Seoul.
They see their fathers selling bootleg goods
To G.I. tourists down in Ite-Wan
And watch their sisters meet the morning light
After satisfying lonely soldiers all night long
CHORUS:
In the heart of Seoul.
There’s something broken in the heart of Seoul,
But before this day has ended, I pray that one more heart
In the heart of Seoul will be mended.
Some kids grow up too fast in any town,
Begging for money in the bitter cold,
Learning the hatred that runs north and south
And strikes terror in the heart of Seoul
And as the east and western worlds collide,
Something is gained and something slips away,
But still there’s something broken deep inside.
And you can tell it’s always been that way
CHORUS
Bridge:
Oh, will be mended
Will be mended.
Oh, Lord Jesus come and make your home
CHORUS
