In a bare little room Down the hallway He types out the words all alone Man*script grows on the harddrive Vision the world's never known Travelin' with only a compa** Drawing a map with his words 'Til his head meets his arm on the table And sleep takes the eyes that had blurred She's old and a little unsteady As she makes her way down to the town But the peace in her soul is the feeling She leaves with the people around Words of compa**ion and kindness Really listening to hear what they say 'Til she walks slowly home in the evening Alone at the end of the day But it's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart Love's the end of the matter When it's there at the start To the hardened, it's hopeless To the world, it's not smart But it's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart Everyone's marching in rhythm With crowds growing larger each day His friends have all warned him to silence "You'll be hurt if you get in the way." Slowly, he gathers his courage And stands to his feet on the floor And his truth shows up all their deceptions He's soon shouted down with a roar But it's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart Love's the end of the matter When it's there at the start To the hardened, it's hopeless To the world, it's not smart But it's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart Deep in the earth in the darkness Unnoticed by all on the ground The life that was planted is growing For the stones that cannot hold it down Few may remember your sowing When it's time for the harvest at last The seed that holds the power of heaven Is a promise that will come to pa** It's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart Love's the end of the matter When it's there at the start To the hardened, it's hopeless To the world, it's not smart But it's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart It's never for nothin' When it comes from the heart
