It Begins Inside the Heart

The mansion that stands tall on the ground
Has its origins inside the heart
Where the first brick of its foundation was laid
The foundation of belief and determination
That the mansion will surely be built
And its pillars that hold its structure together
Fending off storms that try to tear it down
Were first built inside the heart
Even those walls that give the mansion its shape
And finally the roof that crowns it all
Were first built inside the heart
The real work started inside the heart

Success like the mansion, its foundation,
That gives it power to stand on its feet
Is hidden deep down inside the heart
Success like an iceberg, its glorious part,
The visible part, is only the tip of the iceberg
The greater weight is hidden inside the heart
Success like a great tree, has its roots,
Deep down in a complex network of possibilities
Hidden and at work deep inside the heart
Want to achieve anything worthwhile?
Go to work inside your heart
Building a strong foundation and deep roots
