Heart's A Soldier Lyrics - Temporary People - Joseph Arthur

You can't get to Brooklyn riding on the uptown train 

You're gonna be a crook until you stop dealing in cocaine 

Still you provide for your family any way that you still can 

And you remember when they told you you would always be the man 

The way we prey 

On each other, on each other 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

You know the times are tougher, tougher than they've ever been before 

Because the streets are rougher, rougher than the bedroom door 

You try to change the weather even though you know it's a mistake 

Because the heart's a soldier, even though you know it's gonna break 

The way we prey 

On each other, on each other 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

It's a real tough life when you're searching for ecstasy 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

Sometimes the path to freedom is the one that no one else believes 

Sometimes to rise above them you have to get down on you knees 

Try to pray 

For each other, for each other 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

Go on, show a little faith in me 

It's a real tough life when you're searching for ecstasy 

So go on, show a little faith in me
