Heart He Handed Down

His father found a gun
 Shot the man, who hurt his son
 And packed his bag so he could run
 And save us all
 ♪
 There's an anchor and a rope
 Wrapped around faith and hope
 That he got tattooed on his chest in Istanbul
 
 If you feel running in your blood
 and the dream's not big enough
 And ya' just can't give it up
 Once it's found
 
 If your feet can't stand still
 Between the thunder and the thrill
 Let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
 Never touch the ground
 I tell you this
 Inside your chest
 Beats the heart he handed down

 Alex sure put up a fight
 He stood helpless in the night
 Lost his baby and his wife
 at the same time
 
 So he just started moving
 through the jails of country's left in ruin
 Shovelled coal, on a boat
 Scared his dreams would go up in smoke
 If you feel running in your blood
 and the dream's not big enough
 And ya' just can't give it up
 Once it's found
 
 If your feet can't stand still
 Between the thunder and the thrill
 Let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
 Never touch the ground
 
 I tell you this
 Inside your chest
 Beats the heart he handed down
 ♪
 Everytime you take a breath
 Oh it's like he never left
 No matter how far that you run
 The leaving's just a part of being home
 If you feel running in your blood
 and the dream's not big enough
 And ya' just can't give it up
 Once it's found
 
 If your feet can't stand still
 Between the thunder and the thrill
 Let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
 Never touch the ground
 I tell you this
 Inside your chest
