A former member of Alice Cooper's band, bassist Kip Winger formed his own group in 1986; in addition to vocalist/bassist Winger, the group featured lead guitarist Reb Beach, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein, formerly of the Dixie Dregs. Taking its name from its leader, Winger specialized in the stylish hard rock that sent Bon Jovi and Poison to the top of the charts. The band's eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak." Winger's second album, 1990's In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away." However, the band didn't outlast the grunge trend and the group faded away after the release of its 1993 album Pull. Kip Winger launched a solo career at the tail end of the '90s. In early 2006, the "Pull" 1993 line-up reunited, along with a fifth member on keyboards.

In The Heart Of The Young Lyrics

Winger

There's a fire
In the heart of the young
Human temples
Drawing power from the sun
Raising sails
Navigating the dawn
Hear the thunder
Now, we're a million strong

Chorus:
(Whoa...)
The light shines in the heart of the young
(Whoa...)
We're fighting for a new way to say
Carry on,
And see behind this material
Illusion,
The future of all is alive in the heart of the young

There's a song
In the heart of the young
Loud and clearly
The band goes marchin' on
With the force
Of a thousand gods
Hear the music
We're a million strong

Chorus:
(Whoa...)
Put your trust in the heart of the young
(Whoa...)
The rise of the rebellion has
Just begun,
The trumpets sound off the countdown for a
New day's dawn,
The future of all will survive, it's alive
(Show me you're still alive)

Solo

There's a fire
It's there in the heart of the young
See the lightning
Strike the curtain
With the force
Of a thousand gods
Hear the thunder
It's in the heart of the young

Chorus:
(Whoa...)
Can't you feel it burn in the heart of the young
(Whoa...)
We're fighting for a new way to say
Carry on,
The trumpets sound off the countdown for a
New day's dawn,
The future of all is alive in the heart of the young

The future of all will surive, it's alive....
(repeat & fade)
