Carnival Heart (from Cirque du Soleil Songblazers)

I traveled my heart from the old great smokies

I followed falling stars, I was too blind to see

That I'd never find nothing to ever be enough for me

I turned every stone, looked for silver and gold

I cried through the night over childhood photos

Is the boy that I was still a part of the man that I am?

And I found the magic was hidden in me

There beneath all the sadness, somewhere in the deep

And the dark, my carnival heart, it sings again

And life will be tragic, it's so bittersweet

But there's beauty in madness and if you believe

From the start, your carnival heart will sing again

I'll put on a show, I'll jump through the fire

Gonna let 'em all know, I'm not scared to fly

'Cause I found me a home, I live where the wonder is

I found the magic was hidden in me

There beneath all the sadness, somewhere in the deep

And the dark, my carnival heart, it sings again

And life will be tragic, it's so bittersweet

But there's beauty in madness and if you believe

From the start, your carnival heart will sing again

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I found the magic was hidden in me

There beneath all the sadness, somewhere in the deep

And the dark, my carnival heart, it sings again

And life will be tragic, it's so bittersweet

But there's beauty in madness and if you believe

From the start, your carnival heart will sing again

Your carnival heart will sing again

My carnival heart, it sings again

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I found the magic, it was hidden in me

There beneath all the sadness, somewhere in the deep

And the dark, my carnival heart
