I've traveled roads, I've seen the miles
Through empty streets and crowded smiles
But in each place, the same refrain
I find a piece I can't explain
Where the heart stays, no matter where I go
It's the fire that keeps its glow
Through every step, through every phase
I'm always led back to where the heart stays
In every stranger, every friend
There's a warmth that won't pretend
I feel it strong, a gentle trace
A sense of love, a state of grace
And when the nights grow long and cold
There's a truth that I still hold
Through all the loss and all the gains
It's where the heart forever remains
Where the heart stays, no matter where I go
It's the fire that keeps its glow
Through every step, through every phase
I'm always led back to where the heart stays
So here's to the roads that bring me near
To the faces, the love I hold dear
In every heartbeat, it's clear as day
I'm always led back to where the heart stays
