  • The heart is stronger than you think
    It's like it can go through anything
    And even when you think it can't it finds a way to still push on, though

    Sometimes you want to run away
    Ain't got the patience for the pain
    And if you don't believe it look into
    Your heart the beat goes on

    I'm tellin' you that
    Things get better
    Through whatever
    If you fall, dust it off, don't let up

    Don't you know you can go be your own miracle

    You need to know

    If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
    But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

    Who are we to be
    Questioning, wondering what is what
    Don't give up
    Through it all, just stand up!

    It's like we all have better days
    Problems getting all up in your face

    Just because you go through it

    Don't mean it got to take control, no

    You ain't gotta find no hiding place

    Because the heart can beat the hate

    Don't wanna let your mind keep playin' you

    And sayin' you can't go on

    I'm tellin' you that

    Things get better
    Through whatever

    If you fall

    Dust if off, don't let up

    Don't you know you

    Can go

    Be your own

    Miracle

    You need to know

    If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
    But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

    You don't gotta be a prisoner in your mind

    If you fall, dust it off

    You can live your life

    Yeah

    Let your heart be your guide

    Yeah yeah yeah

    And you will know that you're good if you trust in the good

    Everything will be alright, yeah
    Light up the dark, if you follow your heart

    And it will get better

    Through whatever

    If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
    But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

    You got it in you, find it within
    You got in now, find it within now
    You got in you, find it within
    You got in now, find it within now
    You got in you, find it within
    Find it within you, find it within

    Through it all, just stand up Writer/s: Kenneth Edmonds, Ronnie Walton Jr
