People say
Don't ever look behind
Happiness is just a state of mind
Rock and roll lives and breathes in the hearts of the young
So carry on
You're runnin' on borrowed time
Tryin' hard to survive
Keep on runnin'
Your time in comin'
Keep your dreams alive

[Chorus]
Follow your heart (you got to follow your heart)
Living for today, forget about tomorrow
Follow your heart (you got to follow your heart)
Any other way can only lead to sorrow
Don't wait any longer
Follow your heart

Plays for keeps
And try to never lose
Live it fast but live the life you choose
Rock and roll lives and breathes in the hearts of the young
So let it ride
Each time you roll the dice
Luck will finally arrive
Keep on runnin'
Your time is comin'
Keep your dreams alive

[Chorus]

Oh, listen to the rhythm
Your heart won't lie
Rock and roll hearts
Just never die, never die

[Chorus]
