The Heart Behind the Song

In 1998, Bryan Guentner wrote a simple poem called “Dreams” about the power of imagination, faith, and believing that the invisible could one day become visible. At the time, it was a reflection of hope and possibility—a reminder that dreams require belief before they can become reality.

Years later, those same words found new meaning.

Follow Your Heart is the evolution of that original message into a love song about trusting God's timing and believing that every chapter of our journey has a purpose. It recognizes that some of life's greatest blessings cannot be rushed. Love, dreams, and new beginnings often arrive not when we demand them, but when we are ready to receive them.

The phrase “delays are not denials” captures the heart of the song. What feels like waiting may actually be preparation. What feels like uncertainty may be the path leading us exactly where we are meant to be.

At its core, Follow Your Heart is a reminder to keep believing.

Believe in love.
Believe in possibility.
Believe in the dreams placed within you.

Because with a little imagination, faith, and courage, the invisible can become visible...

And dreams can come true.

Lyrics

With a little imagination,
I could almost see your face.
Long before our paths were crossing,
Love was finding us through grace.
Every mile and every moment,
Every season played its part.
Maybe all the roads I've traveled
Were just leading to your heart.

Some things bloom in perfect timing,
Not a moment soon or late.
What we call a thousand detours
He was quietly calling fate.

Follow your heart, don't let go.
Trust the places you don't know.
Dreams can turn from hope to true,
The day they lead me here to you.
The unseen becomes the light,
Morning always finds the night.
Love was never very far...
When you follow your heart.

Angels must have worked for hours,
Moving mountains we couldn't see.
Every "not yet" was a promise
Waiting for eternity.
Delays were never our denial,
Only Heaven's gentle pace.
Every chapter had a reason,
Every heartbeat found its place.

Believe instead of doubting.
Faith is stronger than fear.
When love is written by the Author,
Every answer will appear.
The impossible grows smaller,
When two hearts believe it's true.
Maybe every dream I carried
Was always leading me to you.

Follow your heart, don't let go.
Trust the places you don't know.
Dreams can turn from hope to true,
For me... and now for you.
What was hidden now can shine,
Every star was there to guide.
Love was waiting from the start...
Just follow your heart.

With a little imagination...
Dreams still come true.
The invisible becomes visible...
When love finds me...
And you.
