| He goes to work in a brand new dawn
 | 
| With the early morning sunrise
 | 
| He is got his dream and he’s holding on
 | 
| It is getting harder every day
 | 
| He loves a girl who speaks her mind
 | 
| Do not always look at life the same way
 | 
| Sharing truth that will heal in time
 | 
| They want to believe something real
 | 
| Still they are searching
 | 
| They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
 | 
| Time moves on as the fading town
 | 
| And they struggle with the changes
 | 
| The stores have closed, friends have moved away
 | 
| Now it is hope that sees him through
 | 
| The kids have gone but they will see them all
 | 
| At the Sunday congregation
 | 
| Sharing dreams truth will heal in time
 | 
| They want to believe something real
 | 
| Still they are searching
 | 
| They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
 | 
| Ooh, it is words that divide them
 | 
| It is love that defines them
 | 
| They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
 | 
| In our darkest hour, oh, we look to the sky
 | 
| With a silent prayer
 | 
| Believe that God’s on our side
 | 
| In a land where freedom rings
 | 
| And where eagles fly
 | 
| Ooh yeah, yeah
 | 
| They want to believe something real
 | 
| Still they are searching
 | 
| They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
 | 
| Yeah, it is words that divide them
 | 
| It is love that defines them
 | 
| They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
 | 
| Ooh, I just want to believe it
 | 
| Give me something to believe in
 | 
| We all need something to believe in
 | 
| In the heart tonight
 | 
| Got faith
 | 
| Got dreams
 | 
| Yeah, we are keeping the faith alive |
