keep yourself

once you start to think about it
you lose touch with your heart
for the heart requires no thought
emotion is instinct

yet you feel compelled to to do it
to communicate your heart
though the heart requires no words
no page to link

still here we are
are you reading
are you listening to this song
are you thinking

why are we here
is something missing
is something going wrong
in our hearts

where did we go
where did we go
where did we go
oh

keep yourself in your heart
don't life life tear you apart
give yourself the time to find
the silence in your mind

there you'll find more than dreams
you are all you've ever been
and there's nothing to explain
just remember once again

to keep yourself in your heart
you've been there from the start
there's nothing to think about
thinking just feed the doubt

take the time to free your mind
do not leave yourself behind
stop the rush of the day
don't let life get in your way

remember the innocence
recharge the excitement
it is not in any book on the shelf
it's true
it is right there in yourself
it's you

still here we are
are you reading
are you listening to this song
are you thinking

why are we here
is something missing
is something going wrong
in our hearts

where did we go
where did we go
where did we go
oh

keep yourself in your heart
don't life life tear you apart
give yourself the time to find
the honesty in your mind

there you'll find more than dreams
you are all you've ever been
and there's nothing to explain
just remember once again

to keep your truth in your heart
you've been there from the start
there's nothing to think about
thinking just feed the doubt

take the time to free your mind
do not leave yourself behind
stop the rush of the day
don't let life get in your way

remember the innocence
recharge the excitement
it is not in any book on the shelf
it's true
it is right there in yourself
it's you
