Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sell yourself short and buy a world of pain
Follow your bliss or pay the price
[Verse 2]
All of these lessons I've learned them so well
There is no gain worth the commerce of self
[Verse 3]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start
[Verse 4]
You wear an albatross around your neck
The spoils of war will bring you down
[Verse 5]
Heed my advice
May you hear every word
Don't sacrifice meaning
For riches that burn
[Verse 6]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start, oh
[Verse 7]
All of these lessons I've learned for myself
There is no gain worth the commerce of self
A dream left for dead now a nightmare that feels like hell
[Verse 8]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start
[Verse 9]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start
[Verse 10]
I'd rather live from the heart
I'd rather live from the heart
