Fearless or The Fearless may refer to:
The heart is a myogenic muscular organ found in all animals with a circulatory system (including all vertebrates), which pumps blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The term cardiac (as in cardiology) means "related to the heart" and comes from the Greek καρδιά, kardia, for "heart".
The vertebrate heart is principally composed of cardiac muscle and connective tissue. Cardiac muscle is an involuntary striated muscle tissue found only in this organ and responsible for the ability of the heart to pump blood. The average human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during an average 66 year lifespan. It weighs approximately 250 to 300 grams (9 to 11 oz) in females and 300 to 350 grams (11 to 12 oz) in males.
In invertebrates that possess a circulatory system, the heart is typically a tube or small sac and pumps fluid that contains water and nutrients such as proteins, fats, and sugars. In insects, the "heart" is often called the dorsal tube and insect "blood" is almost always not oxygenated since they usually respirate (breathe) directly from their body surfaces (internal and external) to air. However, the hearts of some other arthropods (including spiders and crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp) and some other animals pump hemolymph, which contains the copper-based protein hemocyanin as an oxygen transporter similar to the iron-based hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates.

When we first met it felt like spring
After months of winter weather
I hoped our blossoming romance
Would brighten up my life forever
But faint heart never won fair lady
Or indeed fair gentleman
At the very first sign of trouble
You turned upon your heels and ran
It takes great strength and bravery
To show vulnerability
It takes a fearless heart indeed
Truly to fall in love
Just like the giant guarding his garden
You built a wall around your heart
A wall impossible to scale
Serving only to keep us apart
And now we are strangers again
I will no more gaze into your eyes
As affection so sorely neglected
Rests its weary head and dies
It takes great strength and bravery
To show vulnerability
It takes a fearless heart indeed
