From the recording Man Who Followed His Heart
Lyrics
These days I’ve been analyzingI’m looking back on the things I’ve done, andEverything seems in order, awards stand likeSoldiers from battles I’ve wonAnd I’ve climbed all the ladders and mountainsAnd I’m an expert at scaling wallsBut now I’m ready to reach for somethingThat needs no climbing at allToday’s the day, tomorrow’s too lateAnd there’s just no mistaking the highFrom finally getting to fly Find a new world like ColumbusSee the stars just like John GlennBe the hero in my own movie like Errol Flynn, and I’llWrite a book, sell a million copiesWhere the ending brings you right back to the startIt’s the story of the Man Who Followed His Heart You can’t tell me there’s no more musicThat my songs have all been sungCause I can hear my destiny singing“Your sweetest days have just begun”So many dreams I lived in my sleepBut now I’ll check them all off my listUntil there is nothing I’ve missed Find a new world like ColumbusSee the stars just like John GlennBe the hero in my own movie like Errol Flynn, and I’llWrite a book sell a billion copiesBout a Love so bright it pierced right through the darkLight a fire insideThe Man Who Followed His Heart Let them think I’m crazyOne day they’ll say he Found a new world like ColumbusSaw the stars just like John GlennWas the hero in his own movie like Errol Flynn, and heWrote a book, sold a zillion copiesJust to help each of us reach for the starsThat’s how we becameThe World Who Followed its Heart Found a new world deep inside meFelt a love that shook my soulHeld a star in a universe that never grows cold, and I’llBe a book of a million pagesWith an end that brings me right back to the startSo I’ll always beThe Man Who Followed His HeartYeah, I’m gonna beThe Man Who Followed His Heart
