I've got a poet inside He lives in my mind He keeps me up at night And makes me write I've got a poet inside He keeps my mind sharp He keeps my eyes bright And softens my heart That's why I don't mind I love the poet inside In the mind and heart Its where all the poets hide And make us love and hate and fight That's why I don't mind I love the poet inside In the mind and heart Its where all the poets hide And make us hope and fear and fight
