(I HOPE...)
maybe you never believed I would
maybe you never believed I could
maybe you never believed you deserved
such profound emotion
such endless devotion
maybe you thought it would fade away
maybe you thought love's a game hearts play
maybe you never let yourself feel it
such intense desire
such consuming fire
maybe you try to convince yourself
that it just doesn't work in this world
maybe you don't want to know your truth inside
maybe you're just too afraid of your fears
to listen to the voice your true heart hears
maybe you think your innocence has died
it's for you to choose what you believe
you can believe anything
but I will believe past the end of time
something inside you still wants to rhyme
and you feel the truth when you and I sing
love makes everything right
if we make it real
love turns on every light
if we dare to feel
love is the only way
to the truth inside
the only way to peace in this life
and any other way...
is suicide
maybe you never believed it could be true
that someone in this life would love you as I do
maybe you're too afraid to admit it's true
that all you've ever wanted was someone to love you
like the way I do
but I do... yes it's true... I do
(such profound emotion)
(such endless devotion)
(such intense desire)
(such consuming fire)
and all we have to do is grow enough to overcome our fears
to see the truth we've felt inside (but have been running from for years)
to understand the confusion comes from feeling truth but believing fears
and not trusting what we feel - getting literal with our ears
instead of listening to what our heart hears
the heart hears the truth when it's allowed to feel
and when you listen to your heart you know what is real
any other way of living just leads to confusion
and if it's all illusion, then this is my illusion
listen to the heart...
there'll be no more fears
please listen to the heart
and believe what the heart hears
What The Heart Hears
