I believe we're born good from the start

And we come equipped with a piece of God in our hearts

But the world exacts a hard and bitter cost

And some of us get oh so very lost

Close your eyes

Your heart knows why

And what's the truth

And what's the lie

Through each mistake and every old regret

and every hope that hasn't come through yet

I still believe though it's crazy that I might

And like a diamond shines each bit of light

Close your eyes

Your heart knows why

And what's the truth

And what's the lie

So how I got this job I'll never know

But when it calls you can't refuse to go

So most of us just do the best we can

And in this stumbling world just try to stand

Close your eyes

Your heart knows why

And what's the truth

And what's the lie
