Battle of the Heart

Lyrics

[Intro: Goapele] How can I go on? Dawn is breaking But it's yours for taking I'm losing the battle of the heart [Verse 1: Goapele] Every time it turns to spring I think of you again And how I long to fly Fly free I'm standing at the edge of something beautiful But it hurts to try I'm scared it won't arrive Love everlasting But the dawn is breaking But it's yours for taking [Chorus: Goapele] I'm losing the battle of the heart Oh, mmm, mmm, oh I'm losing the battle of the heart Oh, I don't wanna surrender But that's when I can commend this thing [Verse 2: Goapele] And there always comes this sweet hello And I feel way too far On the edge of something beautiful I never realized Just how to separate the two Fantasy from truth And running into you Then all of the reasons keep flashing before me But I can't do And I thought I was through The feelings were gone The battle was over Oh, it's not over [Chorus: Goapele] I'm losing the battle of the heart Oh Is it crazy I thought I could win? Oh I'm losing the battle of the heart Oh Oh [Outro: Speakers] - You know, many memories from different parts of my life, you know, as a child, as a teenager, as a Panther, as a father, you know. But, I guess some of—if I were to kind of boil it down, it was seeing my children, just seeing them come into the world - It just felt like my family was continuing - The time that I fall in love... - There's no love like Mother Love - To my grandbaby, I love you so much - I was real close with my grandfather - I haven't seen my sister - Actually seeing my mom for the first time when I was five, just came back from South Africa. It was a real powerful image for me - Jumping into my mom's arms - She's a, she's a landmark, she's a north star - I woke up in the morning and the sky was gray-blue and the moon was sitting at the top left-hand corner of my window. And it was almost blurred like it was smudged. So at first I didn't think it was the moon, I thought it was a reflection. And it looked like the moon was being drawn down by a string. It slowly disappeared to the right edge of my window
