LISTENING

***

Have you ever climbed a mountain
Have you ever crossed a sea
Take a look around the corner
And listen to your heartbeat

Have you ever touched a rainbow
Take a ride on a ferris wheel
It takes one step to start a journey
It's up to you to make it real

This is a time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your heart
This is a time in your life
And it's never too late
To see a light in the dark
You gotta follow your heart

Walking far in the horizons
But we never walk alone
You'll be at home where your heart is
A million miles away from home

This is a time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your heart
This is a time in your life
And it's never too late
To see a light in the dark
You gotta follow your heart

Show me the way
Who knows the way
This is the only road to go
Life brings me down
Life takes me up
And only, only heaven knows

This is a time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your heart
This is a time in your life
And it's never too late
To see a light in the dark
You gotta follow your heart

You gotta follow your heart
