I Know a Place

(Tonio K./ John Keller)
 
only the strong survive 
that's what the papers say 
sometimes it seems like it's true 
ain't nothing fair in life 
that's just the way it goes 
but the strong in spirit make it through
 
i know a place 
in a quiet corner of the heart 
i know a place we can go 
i know the way 
i can tell you, but i can't take you there 
you've got to find this place alone
 
we all start off this life 
totally innocent 
it's only love that we need 
sometimes we cry for it 
some people die for it 
in the world live is never free
 
but i know a place 
where we're all who we were meant to be 
where the spirit speaks to the soul 
i know the way to this place 
i can tell you, but i can't take you there 
you've got to get there on your own
 
you may think heaven lies beyond the stars 
but if you look you'll find 
that heaven begins in your heart
 
i know a place 
where there's peace beyond our understanding 
i know a place we can go 
beyond the gates to tears and time 
in a corner of your heart of hearts 
you've got to get there on your own
 
i know a place 
in a quiet corner of the heart 
i know a place we can go 
i know the way 
i can tell you, but i can't take you there 
you've got to find this place alone 
you've got to get there on your own
