Listen to your heart or it may stop beating
Fight for your dreams day and night
You can look back but there is no retreating
Wonder if your goals are even worth meeting
Trapped in a life that’s just not right
Listen to your heart or it may stop beating
Focus on today, past and future are misleading
Lost in a world of hidden fright
You can look back but there is no retreating
Trust yourself, no more mistreating
Alone in your treacherous flight
Listen to your heart or it may stop beating
Find your true self though the glimpses are fleeting
Think not of what can’t but what might
You can look back but there is no retreating
Hope comes anew with each sunrise’s greeting
Healing the torment of the night
Listen to your heart or it may stop beating
You can look back but there is no retreating
