Lyrics of
The Heart Of Life

The Heart of Life by John Mayer is an optimistic take on lifes adversities and challenges. Mayer expresses that despite hardships and pain, at its core, life is good. The lyrics suggest a hopeful and encouraging outlook in the face of difficult times.

I hate to see you cry
Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good
(Play verse and chorus with no lyrics)
Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it’s good
