He goes to work in a brand new dawn With the early morning sunrise... Hes got his dream and hes holding on... Its gettin harder everyday Loves a girl... who speaks her mind Dont always look at life the same way Sharing truth... that will heal in time
[Chorus 1]
They wanna believe something real... still theyre searching Theyre keepin the faith in the heartland tonight
[Verse 2]
Time moves on as a fading town... they struggle with the changes The stores have closed... friends have moved away Now its hope that sees them through The kids have gone but theyll see them all At the Sunday congregation Sharing dreams... truth will heal in time
[Chorus 2]
They wanna believe something real... still theyre searching Theyre keepin the faith in the heartland tonight Its words that divide them... its love that defines them Theyre keepin the faith in the heartland tonight
[Bridge]
In our darkest hour... we look to the sky With a silent prayer... believe Gods on our side In the land where freedom reigns... and where eagles fly
[Chorus 3]
They wanna believe something real... still theyre searching Theyre keepin the faith in the heartland tonight Its words that divide them... its love that defines them Theyre keepin the faith in the heartland tonight I just wanna believe it... Give me something to believe in We all need something to believe in... tonight
