In a Heartbeat

The Riptide Movement

It won't change if we don't change it
Just one step or can we take it
To realize
Move towards the light and to go
And it won't change, if we don't change it
Takes the leap of fate, will we forsake it
Make a sacrifice to climb outside
And be free

In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
It can change

It won't change if we don't change it
Just one word or can we say it
Make a call tonight
Or be denied forever more
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
It can change

Oh, you fear you feel
It eats you up inside
Oh, you fear you feel
It eats you from inside

In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
It will change
It will change
It will change




It will change
It will change
