He goes to work in a brand new dawn
With the early morning sunrise
He's got his dream and he's holding on
It's getting harder everyday
Loves a girl who speaks her mind
Don't always look at life the same way
Sharing truth that will heal in time
They wanna believe something real still they're searching
They're keepin' the faith in the heartland tonight
Time moves on as a fading town, they struggle with the changes
The stores have closed, friends have moved away
Now it's hope that sees them through
The kids have gone but they'll see them all
At the Sunday congregation
Sharing dreams truth will heal in time
They wanna believe something real still they're searching
They're keepin' the faith in the heartland tonight
It's words that divide them, it's love that defines them
They're keepin' the faith in the heartland tonight
In our darkest hour we look to the sky
With a silent prayer believe that God's on our side
In the land where freedom reigns and where eagles fly
They wanna believe something real still they're searching
They're keepin' the faith in the heartland tonight
It's words that divide them, it's love that defines them
They're 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
Got faith, got dreams, believe
We're keeping the faith alive
