The Human Heart (from Once On This Island)

The Human Heart - Andrea Frierson/Once on This Island Ensemble

Written by：Stephen Flaherty/Lynn Ahrens/Jay David Saks

The courage of a dreamer

The innocence of youth

The failures and the foolishness

That lead us to the truth

The hopes that

Make us happy

The hopes that

Don't come true

And all the love

There ever was

I see this all

In you

You are part

Part of the

Human heart

You are part

You are part

You are part

Of all who took the journey

And managed to endure

The ones who knew such tenderness

The ones who felt so sure

The ones who

Came before you

The others yet

To come

And those who

You will teach

It to

And those you

Learned it from

You are part

Part of the

Human heart

You are part

You are part

You are part

This is the gift I give

Through your love you'll live

Forever

You are part

Forever

Part of the

Human heart

Forever

You are part

You are part

Tonight

Tonight

Part of the human

Heart
