Song Description

when things are tough, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and listen to your heart

Lyrics

How do you draw the line in the sand
How do you know when the time is at hand
and how do you know when to walk away;
how do you decide to stay?
The head and the heart take a walk, have a talk.
You leave it alone, or go it alone,
have a battle or a truce...
just listen for some bit of the truth
listen for some bit of the truth
listen for the truth...*

*(And) You pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
keep on walking, keep on rolling
to the beat (to the beat, to the beat) of your heart.

What happens when you do it "right" -- take your vitamins, get your sleep, be kind,
do your yoga, meditate, volunteer...and you're still not sure why you're here?
Then you get the call in the middle of the night, and it's death, or fate or hate,
and you hang up the phone and you're left alone, listening to the silence ticking,
listen to the silence ticking,
listen, listen to the silence.*

What about all the damage and tragedy -- inside and out --
of your heart, in your mind, of the past, in your life, in this world
all around you see?
You can fall apart, fall into the drama, fall from grace,
you can rage at the injustice, lose sight of the cause, lose your faith...or you can pause
and listen to the beat of your heart, listen to the beat of your heart
listen to the beat of your heart.*
