[Verse 1]
He goes to work in a brand new dawn
With the early morning sunrise
He is got his dream and he's holding on
It is getting harder every day
He loves a girl who speaks her mind
Do not always look at life the same way
Sharing truth that will heal in time

[Chorus]
They want to believe something real
Still they are searching
They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

[Verse 2]
Time moves on as the fading town
And they struggle with the changes
The stores have closed, friends have moved away
Now it is hope that sees him through
The kids have gone but they will see them all
At the Sunday congregation
Sharing dreams truth will heal in time

[Chorus]
They want to believe something real
Still they are searching
They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
Ooh, it is words that divide them
It is love that defines them
They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

[Verse 3]
In our darkest hour, oh, we look to the sky
With a silent prayer
Believe that God's on our side
In a land where freedom rings
And where eagles fly
Ooh yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
They want to believe something real
Still they are searching
They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
Yeah, it is words that divide them
It is love that defines them
They are keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
Ooh, I just want to believe it
Give me something to believe in
We all need something to believe in
In the heart tonight

[Outro]
Got faith
Got dreams
Yeah, we are keeping the faith alive

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
