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
