This life is heartless and it's rarely just
Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust
And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust
And steel your soul if you let it.

Oh every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me.

(chorus)
Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you.

Well, I spend my life pursuing fortune and fame
Chasing rainbows in a shadow game
And I'm not sure what I've lost is worth the gain
Or why my soul remains so restless.

You've seen me stumble, Lord, you've seen me fall.
You shared my triumphs and you've seen me crawl.
When I think that I could lose it all
You give me courage and you tell me.

(repeat chorus)

Oh every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me.

When the road gets rocky and the ride gets rough
And the best you got to give ain't good enough
There will always be a place inside my love
Where you can find shelter
Where you can find shelter

Oh every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me.

Don't lose heart, don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you
Well, I will always be beside, beside you.

"Don't Lose Heart"
Words and music by Daniel Fogelberg
Copyright 1997 Sacred Circle Music (ASCAP)

"A new song recorded especially for this collection in December of 1996 in L.A. Recorded and mixed in five days. A very honest song of disillusionment and hope and the healing power of love."

-Dan Fogelberg, from the liner notes in Portrait.
