[Verse 1]
He says, have no fear
Open up, let me in
He says, take a chance
Here's your song, time to dance

[Pre-Chorus]
What you gonna do, when it comes for you?

[Chorus]
Listen to your heart
You gotta listen, to your heart
Listen to your heart
Why don't you listen to your heart?

[Verse 2]
He says, here's your sky, don't look down
We can fly
You say, you little be scared
Just hold on, almost there

[Pre-Chorus]
What you gonna do, when it comes for you?

[Chorus]
Listen to your heart
You gotta listen, to your heart
Listen to your heart
Why don't you listen to your heart?

[Bridge]
You never know until you try
Why so scared, when hearts don't lie
Turn off the world, and close your eyes
Lose yourself, and...

[Chorus]
Listen to your heart
You gotta listen, to your heart
Listen to your heart
Why don't you listen to your heart?

[Post-Chorus]
You know what to do when it comes for you

[Outro]
You gotta listen, baby
Gotta listen baby, gotta listen, baby
Gotta listen to it
How can you hear it?
Gotta listen, baby
Mmm
