Heavy Hearts

He looked ahead towards fading lights
A young man’s hope shot down like moving targets
As he runs off far from home in the darkness all alone
She looks behind to see fading years
Distant dreams are crawling to catch up with her
Held back by oncoming tears as the darkness draws near

 But he persists
 And she resists
 So hard to enlist
 A heavy heart
 She tries to smile
 He walks with style
 But all the while
 A heavy heart
 
Some walk alone without a single touch
No soft caress no sweet voice whispering life it can
Make loneliness too much

 We might persist
 We may resist
 So hard to predict
 A heavy heart
 So try to smile
 And walk with style
 Even if all the while
 You got a heavy heart

A heart must soar
