about

Tender heart is a tribute to people who dare to stand alone and be the first to declare an uncomfortable truth. They may be individuals who stand up against an institution, or belief system, they may challenge a formidable but defunct convention or orthodoxy. They may be people who ‘out’ the wrong doing of powerful individuals, deeds that may well be known to a group but upon which everyone seems to have taken a vow of silence. These early adopters of a pertinent but unspoken truth show superhuman mental strength that is belied by their presumed vulnerability.

lyrics

Tender Heart

Ola Onabulé 2018

Tender Heart, careful how you ache,
Don't look down, don't look round
Weave an art, of those smiles you'd forsake
Seems there's no one you can call
No outstretched arms to break your fall,
When those you show scars that you bear
Say your story's no longer there
But solace in despair
Brought all this on your tender heart.

Tender Heart, Here's a torch for you
Do you stay and fight or merge into night
It's your path, light a way to the truth,
You might be providences choice,
Go Be the future we'll rejoice,
Quell discoveries dragged from the mire
Only love can free and inspire
Calm that raging fire
That burns within your tender heart

solo…

Seems there's no one you can call
No outstretched arms to break your fall,
When those you show scars that you bear
Say your story's no longer there
But solace in despair
Brought all this on your tender heart.

Ad libs out…
