KEEP
YOUR HEART OPEN AND STRONG
Oh, the journey,
needs both serpents and doves
Oh, the struggle, needs a strong kind of love
Keep your heart open and strong
You know every night needs a song
Because the journey’s rugged and long
Keep your heart open and strong.
Comes a storm.
Blows you off your course
Bends your back, tests your faith, blinds your eyes
Just be still. The fury blows the clouds away
And once again the stars light your skies.
Look around. The wreckages of hardened hearts
Narrow minds, broken down souls
Turn ahead. Don’t let them beat you down
Break your spirit, and leave you so cold
You may dream of roads than can be taken
Of a new world, and all it can be
But when you wake, there’s no path
but the one you walk.
The journey is what makes us free
