[Verse: 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse: 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse: 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
