Heartbreak Hill

Oh
Deep down in a heart of man
There's an itch that he can't scratch
He spends his days running here and there
After something that he can't catch

Yeah
Ten years down at the record shop
Billy grew old but he didn't grow up
Someday one day I'll be a man
I can't right now cause there's a party going on

Stand up
Grow with the witness
Stand up
Believe if you will
Stand up
Let the music rock your soul
Hear the story of Heartbreak Hill

Yeah
Let's go back long ago
Before everything before Rock and Roll
Upon the world just an endless night
Slaves in the darkness afraid of the light

Here comes hope, Jack
In the shape of a man
Here comes faith
In things that you can't understand

He stood up
Yeah, the story goes
He stood up
He grew up
But he never grew old

Stand up
Grow with the witness
Stand up
Yeah, believe if you will
Stand up
Oh, let it rock your soul
Hear the story of Heartbreak Hill

Remember Billy, the adult child
Still running around in circles mile after mile
Until one darkened winter night
While closing up the store
A little bitty baby left sleeping at the door

No one in sight, no, no, no, nothing
Billy picked the baby up
He felt something
A brief connection through time and space
Billy stared into the baby's ancient beautiful face

Stand up
Yeah, grow with the witness
Stand up
Believe if you will
Stand up
Let it rock your soul
Hear the story of Heartbreak Hill

Stand up
Oh, stand up, believe if you will
Stand up
Let the music rock your soul
Hear the story of Heartbreak Hill

Hear the story of Heartbreak Hill
The treasure of love
Is easy to find
Get your heart in line
