Heart He Handed Down Video (MV)

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
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
Shoveled 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
Never touch the ground
I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down

Every time 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 you 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
Never touch the ground
I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down

I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down
