Heartland
Michael Gleason

Far from the clamor and confusion we live in
There lies a refuge from the threatening tide
A cool oasis in the heat of the desert
A resurrection from this graveyard of pride

And if you tell me it's just imagination
I won't believe it 'cause my heart tells me this is for real
The revelry and the fascination
When destiny draws near
I'm standing on the last frontier

This is the heartland

Amid the din and desolation I feel it
In spite of all the indecision and fear
Hope for the hopeless and a rest for the weary
Deep in the heartland where the vision is clear

Now after all of the years of resignation
Of endless agonizing over the things yet unknown
The revelry and the fascination
When destiny draws near
I'm standing on the last frontier

This is the heartland
This is the heartland

And if you tell me it's just imagination
I won't believe it 'cause my heart tells me this is for real
The revelry and the fascination
Then destiny draws near
The future holds no fear
The heartland is the last frontier

This is the heartland
