Heart's A Soldier

(album: Temporary People - 2008)

You can't get to Brooklyn riding on the uptown train
You're gonna be a crook until you stop dealing in cocaine
Still you provide for your family any way that you still can
And you remember when they told you you would always be the man

The way we prey
On each other, on each other
Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me

You know the times are tougher, tougher than they've ever been before
Because the streets are rougher, rougher than the bedroom door
You try to change the weather even though you know it's a mistake
Because the heart's a soldier, even though you know it's gonna break

The way we prey
On each other, on each other
Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me

It's a real tough life when you're searching for ecstasy
Go on, show a little faith in me

Sometimes the path to freedom is the one that no one else believes
Sometimes to rise above them you have to get down on you knees

Try to pray
For each other, for each other
Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me

It's a real tough life when you're searching for ecstasy
So go on, show a little faith in me
