Looking at the faded photographs
Feels like it´s been thousand years
Or more
Those were the innocent days
I recall
Life was much simpler than today

Going through the motions
Connecting to the past
Deep down in this heart of mine
I´m still the same I used to be

[Chorus]:
I should know where I´ve been
Still stand up for things I´m believing in
No matter if I lose
I´ll win
I´ll always play it from the heart
I remember the things I´ve seen
Learn how to fall
How to take a hit
Until the final round´s bell rings
I´m gonna play it from the heart

I´ve seen all the ups and downs
Down the line
Learn from mistakes that I´ve made
I had my share of hard times
More than once
But good times were too hard to find

Born to live day by day
Is that a curse or a bless
I don´t know for sure
But one thing stands
Can´t change the way I am

[Chorus]:
I should know where I´ve been
Still stand up for things I´m believing in
No matter if I lose
I´ll win
I´ll always play it from the heart
I remember the things I´ve seen
Learn how to fall
How to take a hit
Until the final round´s bell rings
I´m gonna play it from the heart

I know that I´ve been wrong
I guess that I´ve been blind
But I think I´ve been right every now and then too
It´s all just a game with rules made by me
And I try my best to play to win

[Chorus]:
I should know where I´ve been
Still stand up for things I´m believing in
No matter if I lose
I´ll win
I´ll always play it from the heart
I remember the things I´ve seen
Learn how to fall
How to take a hit
Until the final round´s bell rings
I´m gonna play it from the heart
