Lyrics
HEARTLAND
2009 April Higuera
I cant lie
You know Ive tried
To live a life with sand beneath my feet
Every night
Comes high tide
And washes out the ground from under me
Ive been tethered to a surfboard
Tethered to a rock wall
Im climbing to a ledge where I can see, that
Theres freedom in my heart
I just have to get there
Theres forgiveness if I start
Letting myself rest there
Ive sailed the coastal waters
Ive hiked up from the canyons
Now Im going for it
Running toward the heartland
Soon Ill be living in the heartland
Dig a hole
Touch my soul
And mine the gold thats buried deep
All my life
Ive stood by
And let you all define what I could be
Ive been tethered to the wrong goals
Tethered to the comforts of home
Up aheads a clearing and I can see, that
Theres freedom in my heart
I just have to get there
Theres forgiveness if I start
Letting myself rest there
Im climbing jagged mountains
and crossing muddy waters
And Im going for it
Running toward the heartland
Soon Ill be living in the heartland
Im heading straight into the center
I know that I begin and end where
Love is all that I can see
All that I can breathe
Theres freedom in my heart
I just have to get there
Theres forgiveness if I start
Letting myself rest there
I can see the open fields
Let my heart be revealed
Yeah Im going for it
Running toward the heartland
