Fearless Heart
Written By: Jim Gaffney
Verse 1
In the early days kindness was something rare
The world around me just didn’t care
It’d been enough if they let me be
But their hate left a mark on that heart inside me
Did my best to turn the other cheek
But that just made them think me weak
So I played it their way and they paid for their scorn
And I made ‘em regret the day they were born
Chorus
It’s the fearless heart that wins the fight
A fearless heart sleeps well at night
Certain and steady, always knows what’s right
Livin’ with purpose, it shines so bright
This road’s been long but there’s miles to go
Keep learnin’ lessons this heart oughta know
Been to hell and back, found a brand new start
Still searchin’ for peace with a fearless heart
Verse 2
Once consumed by hate, love made me see
The goodness inside me was meant to be
A road of violence now in the rearview
On this road to redemption, I’d start anew
The lies folks tell to make you feel small
I believed it all for far too long
Destiny and purpose are ours to define
Who we are in life, we decide
Bridge
I traveled through storms but I’m still here
Each scar a story, a truth made clear
The weight of the past can’t hold me down
I’ve traded the darkness for higher ground
With faith as my guide, I play my part
The journey is long but I know my heart
Through trials and fire I’ll stand my ground
In love and in mercy, I’m finally found
Chorus
It’s the fearless heart that wins the fight
A fearless heart sleeps well at night
Certain and steady, always knows what’s right
Livin’ with purpose, it shines so bright
This road’s been long but there’s miles to go
Keep learnin’ lessons this heart oughta know
Been to hell and back, found a brand new start
Still searchin’ for peace with a fearless heart
Outro
This road I’ve walked, there’ve been highs and lows
What the good Lord has planned, none of us knows
Through good times and bad, the righteous prevail
Living for others and tipping the scales
For me life’s a journey, a canvas of art
I paint it each day with a fearless heart
