It takes the heart of a champion
The soul of a saint
The strength of a warrior
To take on the pain
When all your blue skies
Turn grey and run
You've gotta rely
On the heart of a champion

Lookin' in the mirror at the fire station
Thinkin' 'bout the news that the doctors gave him
It changed everything
Reachin' out to God
Tryin' to find an answer
How do you deal with stage four cancer?
Some things you never see coming

When he got back to his bunk...
There was a message from the chief
A post-it note that said
"Son, you know you've got
Everything you need"

The heart of a champion
The soul of a saint
The strength of a warrior
To take on the pain
When all your blue skies
Turn grey and run
You've gotta rely
On the heart of a champion

She's strong as a rock
Standing in the kitchen
Watching their two kids
Playing there with him
Holdin' back the tears
Tryin' not to go
To those deep dark places
Tradin' fear for feel-good faces
That's what mamas do.

But in the midnight hour,
She's scared as hell,
But she hides it, so he can't tell.
She holds him til he falls asleep
Then gets down on her knees

That's the heart of a champion
The soul of a saint
The strength of a warrior
To take on the pain
When all your blue skies
Turn grey and run
You've gotta rely
On the heart of a champion

We all have to face
The lonely trials of life
When reality is stark as black and white
What then do you do?
To be the faithful few
That fight
You've gotta fight

With the heart of a champion
The soul of a saint
The strength of a warrior
To take on the pain
When all your blue skies
Turn grey and run
You've gotta rely
On the heart of a champion
Yeah you've gotta rely
On the heart of a champion
