1508
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:55,800
'Cause I know
1509
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:57,800
That's where
1510
01:57:57,800 --> 01:58:00,400
I am
1511
01:58:03,100 --> 01:58:05,900
So listen
1512
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:10,500
Hold it inside forever
1513
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:13,100
You may find all your dreams
1514
01:58:13,100 --> 01:58:16,500
Have already come true
1515
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,700
Look inside
1516
01:58:20,700 --> 01:58:25,400
1517
01:58:25,500 --> 01:58:29,800
'Cause that's the beat
of the heart
1518
01:58:32,900 --> 01:58:35,300
No one
1519
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:38,800
Can tell you
how to get there
1520
01:58:38,900 --> 01:58:41,200
It's a road you take
1521
01:58:41,300 --> 01:58:44,100
All by yourself
1522
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:48,200
1523
01:58:48,300 --> 01:58:51,400
1524
01:58:51,500 --> 01:58:55,200
So listen
1525
01:58:55,300 --> 01:58:58,700
Hold it inside forever
1526
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:01,400
You may find all your dreams
1527
01:59:01,500 --> 01:59:05,000
Have already come true
1528
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:08,900
Look inside
1529
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,400
1530
01:59:15,700 --> 01:59:19,200
'Cause that's the beat of
1531
01:59:19,300 --> 01:59:23,000
Oh, it's the sweetest sound
1532
01:59:23,100 --> 01:59:27,200
'Cause that's the beat of
1533
01:59:27,300 --> 01:59:31,100
The heart

01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:41,700
