Heart's a Soldier

You can't get to Brooklyn riding on the uptown train

You're gonna be a crook until you stop dealing in cocaine

Still you provide for your family any way that you still can

And you remember when they told you you would always be the man

The way we prey

On each other, on each other

Go on, show a little faith in me

Go on, show a little faith in me

You know the times are tougher, tougher than they've ever been before

Because the streets are rougher, rougher than the bedroom door

You try to change the weather even though you know it's a mistake

Because the heart's a soldier, even though you know it's gonna break

The way we prey

On each other, on each other

Go on, show a little faith in me

Go on, show a little faith in me

It's a real tough life when you're searching for ecstasy

Go on, show a little faith in me

Sometimes the path to freedom is the one that no one else believes

Sometimes to rise above them you have to get down on you knees

Try to pray

For each other, for each other

Go on, show a little faith in me

Go on, show a little faith in me

It's a real tough life when you're searching for ecstasy

So go on, show a little faith in me
