Far from the clamor and confusion we live in There lies a refuge from the threatening tide A cool oasis in the heat of the desert A resurrection from this graveyard of pride And if you tell me it's just imagination I won't believe it 'cause my heart tells me this is for real The revelry and the fascination When destiny draws near I'm standing on the last frontier This is the heartland Amid the din and desolation I feel it In spite of all the indecision and fear Hope for the hopeless and a rest for the weary Deep in the heartland where the vision is clear
Now after all of the years of resignation Of endless agonizing over the things yet unknown The revelry and the fascination When destiny draws near I'm standing on the last frontier This is the heartland This is the heartland And if you tell me it's just imagination I won't believe it 'cause my heart tells me this is for real The revelry and the fascination Then destiny draws near The future holds no fear The heartland is the last frontier This is the heartland
