collective musical talents to the service and salvation of others.Mark Ambrose, and Steve Shannon
played together for several years in the Christian band "Sojourn", and it was herein the seeds were
planted for Idle Cure. In 1986, Idle Cure launched their initial self titled album on the then fledgling
label Frontline Records. The response was both remarkable, and immediate. "Breakaway was a
runaway hit on major Christian Rock radio stations, and "Take It" was a number 1 ballad almost
nationwide. In spite of the fact that the band never did any major tours, the radio success on
several fronts created a steady sub-culture of fans in the industry. Idle Cure went on to produce
five studio projects, and a compilation disc. Each release is superlative, and by many accounts
the band simply got better with every effort. Idle Cure now enjoys the status of being perhaps one
of the finest bands of the many who have tread similar waters.
From The Heart
Idle Cure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a feeling from the heart
Love takes devotion
We're still together but apart
We've got to try
If love can't grow then love will die
Hold on to the feeling
Never let it go
Reach out from your heart and let love grow
Oh - just a dreamer
But in my dreams it's all so clear
We can bridge any distance
I've come so far to have you near
You opened my eyes
You gave me wings and let me fly
Hold on to the feeling
Never let it go
Reach out from your heart and let love grow
Time is a saviour
And it takes time for wounds to heal
You came to save me
You gave me hope and love so real
You opened my eyes
You gave me wings and let me fly
Hold on to the feeling
Never let it go
Reach out from your heart and let love grow
It's a struggle everyday
Still you're there to light the way
In the times we have to share
I know love is always there
For me and you
