Secret places locked away, waiting for the light of day,
Present since our time began: hunger in the heart of man,
Not a question if it's meant to be,
It's a river running to the sea.

Deep in every man's desire: a longing for a love that's higher,
Burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts,
An endless search to satisfy, and every man who seeks will find,
Burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts.

In a struggle to communicate, we stumble over words to say,
But an earnest love will stand the test; it leads us to a place to rest,
It's a language we all understand when you take a person by the hand.

Deep in every man's desire: a longing for a love that's higher,
Oh, burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts,
An endless search to satisfy, and every man who seeks will find,
Burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts.

Not a question if it's meant to be,
It's a river running to the sea.

Deep in every man's desire: a longing for a love that's higher,
Burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts,
An endless search to satisfy, and every man who seeks will find,
Burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts,
Deep in every man's desire: a longing for a love that's higher,
Burning in their hearts, eternity in their hearts,
