Jo Ellen Pellman
Unruly Heart
[EMMA]
Some hearts can conform
Fitting the norm
Flaunting their love for all to see
I tried to change
Thinking how easy life could be

I just kept on failing
I guess that was a sign
That there wasn't much hope
For this unruly heart of mine

Then, you came along
And right or wrong
Feelings began to overflow
We had to hide
Thinking that no one else could know

And not having you near me
Was where I drew the line
So, I had to conceal
This poor, unruly heart of mine

And though I don't know how or when
But somehow, I learned to see
No matter what the world might say
This heart is the best part of me!

So fear's all in the past
Fading so fast
I won't stay hidden anymore
I'm who I am
And I think that's worth fighting for

And nobody out there ever gets to define
The life I'm meant to lead
With this unruly heart of mine

[BOY 1, spoken]
Hi, Emma. I loved your video. Where do I start?

[GIRL 1, spoken]
I think my parents always knew

[BOY 2, spoken]
I felt so alone

[BOY 3, spoken]
Nothing made sense until him

[GIRL 2, spoken]
She's the best thing in my life

[GIRL 3, spoken]
The only good thing

[BOY 1, spoken]
But we're always hiding

[BOY 2, spoken]
You're not the only one

[sung]
And though I don't know how or when

[GIRL]
But somehow, I learned to see

[BOY & GIRL]
No matter what the world might say

[ALL]
This heart is the best part of me

So fear's all in the past
Fading so fast
I won't stay hidden anymore
I'm who I am
And I think that's worth fighting for

And nobody out there ever gets to define
The life I'm meant to lead
With this unruly heart of mine
Mine

[EMMA]
And nobody out there ever gets to define
The life I'm meant to lead
With this unruly heart of mine
