Used to be so easy, now it's harder each day
To look ahead and not dwell on where I've been.
Brings me to my knees, but I'm not going away
Now, I may not have much, but I've got the heart

Chorus
I've got the heart to see it through
I've got the heart for loving you
I've got the heart to make things right
I've got the heart to love all night
I've got the heart to let you feel
What is here is all that's real
I've got the heart, you know it's true
I've got the heart.

Got to change direction and be willing to bend
Or you'll miss life's little twists that happen off the line
After all life happens while it's waiting to end
And you'll get back more than you give if you've got the heart

I've got the heart to carry on
I've got the heart to share this song
I've got the heart to sing the truth
Far beyond my fears of youth
I've got the heart and that's much more
Than I had in years before
I've got the heart you know it's true
I've got the heart
I've got the heart for loving you,
I've got the heart
I've got the heart.
