[Verse 1]
B                    E
He goes to work in a brand new dawn
         D             A
With the early morning sunrise
B                           E
He's got his dream and he's holding on
             D            A
It's getting harder every day
B                   E
He loves a girl who speaks her mind
             D                A
Don't always look at life the same way
B                       E
Sharing truth that will heal in time

[Chorus 1]
     A                         D
They want to believe something real... still they're searching
        F#m                      D           E
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

[Intro Solo Repeat]
B   E   D   A   x2

[Verse 2]
B                    E
Time moves on as the fading town
        D                 A
As they struggle with the changes
B                                    E
The stores have closed, friends have moved away
         D                   A
Now it's hope that sees them through
B                               E
The kids have grown but they'll see them all
       D            A
At the Sunday congregation
B                         E
Sharing dreams truth will heal in time

[Chorus 2]
     A                         D
They want to believe something real... still they're searching
        F#m                      D           E
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
     A                              D
It's words that divide them... it's love that defines them
        F#m                      D           E
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

[Bridge]
C                             G
  In our darkest hour, oh, we look to the sky
Bb                                      F
   With a silent prayer... believe that God's on our side
G                                   D
  In a land where freedom rings and where eagles fly
