When he was 8 he got a heavy dose of life yea His daddy left the earth never to return there His little heart was aching breaking with confusion The pain it saved him from a lifetime of illusion Now he has two little angels of his own yea He can't imagine knowing that he'd have to leave them The pain alone would surely stop his heart from beating When panic comes you have to focus on your breathing In this life so many things are gonna test you You've got the strength inside to overcome and break through And when the weight of pain makes you wanna give up Listen to your heart song Let the groove play on The negative can make your world spin sideways To find the balance you must learn from your mistakes And when the weight of life makes you wanna fall down Listen to your heart song let the beat play on We all can be dated by memories That get in the way of our inner peace When you release let the truth speak To wonder where the mystery of life's gonna lead Take a good look at the ocean breathe Take a good listen to the symphony We all want the key but we need to let it be To learn from what we lose and what we're given universally In this life so many things are gonna test you You've got the strength inside to overcome and break through And when the weight of pain makes you wanna give up Listen to your heart song Let the groove play on The negative can make your world spin sideways To find the balance you must learn from your mistakes And when the weight of life makes you wanna fall down Listen to your heart song let the groove play on When he was 23 his age became reality His buddy left the earth his story was a tragedy Gone too soon he vowed to make the legend live long Immortalized his friend in the stories that he passed on Now he's older thinking back to all the good times They were crazy kids living up a good life And though the pain and hurt still dominate his feelings The love comes when you focus on your breathing In this life so many things are gonna test you You've got the strength inside to overcome and break through And when the weight of pain makes you wanna give up Listen to your heart song Let the groove play on The negative can make your world spin sideways To find the balance you must learn from your mistakes And when the weight of life makes you wanna fall down Listen to your heart song let the groove play on
