People come and go
Living other lives
Running everywhere at such a speed
Never taking time
To open up their eyes
Never knowing where life leads
In the heartland people everywhere
Try to share their hopes and dreams
In the heartland on any given day
You can find your way back home
Take another breath
Take another chance
Take another look at who you are
And get ready for your life
'Cause it's such a crazy dance
So open up and you'll go far
Into the heartland people everywhere
Try to share their hopes and dreams
In the heartland on any given day
You can find your way back home
We've been running so far away
From where our lives belong
Will we ever get back to the rhythm of the heartbeat?
Do you ever feel sad
For those whose hearts have turned to stone?
You are not alone
It's time to take it slow
Time to take a rest
Time to leave the fast lane far behind
Life is hard enough, I know
But you can only do your best
To get it in your hearts and minds
There in the heartland people everywhere
Try to share their hopes and dreams
In the heartland on any given day
You can find your way back home
In the heartland people everywhere
Try to share their hopes and dreams
In the heartland on any given day
