Follow the Heart - Mike Delaney for FAWM2025

Connor is a baseball star A solid force behind the plate The top recruiters seek him out His career now looks first-rate

But Connor’s heart is wearing out Soon all he can do is rest He trades in his catcher’s mitt For a 3 pound pump in his chest

CHORUS: Follow the heart… A blessing; an art… The engine of life Sunshine out of strife Follow the heart

There goes Kellen a sprit free From Seattle he is outward bound Jams in as much as he can Across the country and the world around

Visits a friend; he’s near Sioux Falls A crazy mishap; Kellen bangs his head A tragic end to a life cut short His body fine but his brain is dead

Chorus

Connor is prepped for surgery Clear the way for Kellen’s heart One life gives a final gift The other has a brand new start

A year has passed and Connor’s back in school He looks like a brainiac Learns to be an ultrasound tech His specialty is the cardiac

Chorus

Connor has Kellen’s family to thank Gives Kellen’s mom a big bear hug What do you know; out of the blue His heart strings given a tug

He sees Kellen’s sister Erin As they say love at first sight Connor now knows it by heart His future looking pretty bright

Bridge: A family’s tears dried by the sun It’s beautiful when life turns into art Erin and Connor fully intertwined Drawn together by Kellen’s heart

Chorus
