Battle of the Heart Lyrics by Goapele

Change It All

2005

[Intro: Goapele]
How can I go on?
Dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
I'm losing the battle of the heart
[Verse 1: Goapele]
Every time it turns to spring
I think of you again
And how I long to fly
Fly free
I'm standing at the edge of something beautiful
But it hurts to try
I'm scared it won't arrive
Love everlasting
But the dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
[Chorus: Goapele]
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh, mmm, mmm, oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh, I don't wanna surrender
But that's when I can commend this thing
[Verse 2: Goapele]
And there always comes this sweet hello
And I feel way too far
On the edge of something beautiful
I never realized
Just how to separate the two
Fantasy from truth
And running into you
Then all of the reasons keep flashing before me
But I can't do
And I thought I was through
The feelings were gone
The battle was over
Oh, it's not over
[Chorus: Goapele]
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh
Is it crazy I thought I could win?
Oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh
Oh
[Outro: Speakers]
- You know, many memories from different parts of my life, you know, as a child, as a teenager, as a Panther, as a father, you know. But, I guess some of—if I were to kind of boil it down, it was seeing my children, just seeing them come into the world
- It just felt like my family was continuing
- The time that I fall in love...
- There's no love like Mother Love
- To my grandbaby, I love you so much
- I was real close with my grandfather
- I haven't seen my sister
- Actually seeing my mom for the first time when I was five, just came back from South Africa. It was a real powerful image for me
- Jumping into my mom's arms
- She's a, she's a landmark, she's a north star
- I woke up in the morning and the sky was gray-blue and the moon was sitting at the top left-hand corner of my window. And it was almost blurred like it was smudged. So at first I didn't think it was the moon, I thought it was a reflection. And it looked like the moon was being drawn down by a string. It slowly disappeared to the right edge of my window
