a little motivation

still in my song

You said you were headed in two directions.
You have to follow your heart somewhere,
(Have to follow your heart)
without a map to get you there.

I said I'd stand here. Stand with no protection.
Because I know the heart isn't always fair.
I said I'll stand like a sign post waiting for your stare.

CHORUS
I know that it's sunny above all these clouds.
And I've still got my pride under all these doubts.
***
I know we'll survive,
even if we can't... keep love alive.

I had a disease called love.
It clouded my mind, told me just what I thought I was in need of.
But when push comes to shove, we can finally see what we're both made of.

I wrote a book... called what I want to say to you right now.
But there were so many revisions my editor got fed up with me.
That's ok you've already read me line by line, cover to cover.

CHORUS
I know I'll survive, I've just cried... keep love alive.

You know I can see right through, what have you got to prove.
I'll show you just what you've got to lose.
(The more I live, the more I know, what is simple is true.)
But all you have to do is just be something true.

CHORUS
I know we'll survive, even if we can't... keep love alive.
I know we'll survive, you know that I cried... keep love alive.
But, I know I'll survive, because somewhere out there love is alive.
