At times when you feel
troubled
When your happiness is gone
Look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
In your heart you will find special virtues
Such as faith and hope and love.
These gifts have been sent down to you
from a power up above.
It is faith that keeps the soul searching
for the joy the heart hopes for.
It is love that heals the spirit
making it stronger than before.
And if your heart be broken
if your strength should fade away
the power of these virtues
will still win out the day.
So remember when you're troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
