Shari Ulrich - The Heartland lyrics

The city's humming Got some money to spend I wonder what I'll do tonight Maybe call up a few of my friends See a movie and go out for a bite I've been taking what I think I need Making choices, making plans But what I'm seeing on my TV Is something I don't understand In the heartland of the human race In the heartland there's no choice to make In the heartland where the children wait In the heartland Things pretty much go my way I try to learn the wrong and right I've never known a hungry day Never known a cold night What do I make of this life I lead When you're living in a dying land It doesn't make sense to me Still I reach with an open hand To the heartland of the human race To the heartland where the children wait In the heartland living day to day In the heartland In the heartland of the human race In the heartland is it man or fate In the heartland dying day to day In the heartland In the heartland In the heartland
