People come and go 
Living other lives 
Running everywhere at such a speed 
Never taking time 
To open up their eyes 
Never knowing where life leads 

In the heartland people everywhere 
Try to share their hopes and dreams 
In the heartland on any given day 
You can find your way back home 

Take another breath 
And take another chance 
Take another look at who you are 
And get ready for your live 
'Cos it's such a crazy dance 
So open up and you'll go far 

We've been running so far away 
From where our lives belong 
Will we ever get back to the rhythm of the heartbeat 
Do you ever feel sad 
For those whose hearts have turned to stone 
You are not alone 

It's time to take it slow 
Time to take a rest 
Time to leave the fast lane far behind 
Live is hard enough, I know 
But you can only do your best 
I get it in your heart and minds
