Look To Your Heart Lyrics

[Lorenzo]
Fifty-six games in a row, can't beat that

[Chazz]
That's the record Pop

[Lorenzo]
Marrying Marilyn Monroe

[Chazz]
Ho ho ho!

[Lorenzo]
Tip your hat
The best

[Chazz]
Joe Di

[Lorenzo]
He made it look easy
But the Yankee clipper, man, he stood apart

[Chazz]
Why?
[Lorenzo]
Because of his heart

[Chazz]
Because of his heart!

[Lorenzo]
Look to your heart
Hey who won the last Triple crown

[Chazz]
Mickey Mantle

[Lorenzo]
Yeah, the Mick
With aim that could tear a man down

[Chazz]
So?

[Lorenzo]
So what's his trick?

[Chazz]
He's strong and fast and-
[Lorenzo]
Well sure, the man's gifted, his gifts though are lifted by what he's inside right from the start
I'm talking 'bout heart
Look to your heart
Being a man means you take what you've got and you use it
No it ain't easy but use it with honor and pride
Somebody shows you a shortcut, you smile and refuse it
The one road worth taking
Starts right here inside
Picture the man you could be
Then aim true
If you get lost, look to me
I'm here for you
You've got a future
Son, I can taste it
You can be anything once you've embraced it
Just use your talent, and don't you dare waste it
Promise me right now that you'll be smart
You understand what I'm saying son?

[Chazz]
I think so

[Lorenzo]
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent
Promise me you won't waste yours
[Chazz]
I promise, Dad

[Lorenzo]
My boy has heart
Look to your heart
