Show a little inspiration show a little spark
And show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart
And tell me something I don't know instead of everything I do
And look at me as if I mean something to you
Our hearts are beating while we sleep but while we're wide awake
You know the world won't stop and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart and what your heart might say
Everything we got we got the hard way
Show a little passion baby show a little style
And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how
And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path
You know we got this far darling not by luck but by never turning back
Some will call on destiny but I just call on faith
That the world won't stop and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart to what your heart might say
Everything we got we got the hard way
Caught up in our little lives there's not a lot left over
I see what's missing in your eyes; you're searching for that field of clover
So show a little inspiration show a little spark
Show the world a little light when you show it your heart
We've got two lives one we're given and the other one we make
And the world won't stop and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart and your heart might say
Everything we got we got the hard （everything we got we got the hard way）
Everything we got we got the hard way
（Because the world won't stop） hang on baby
