Follow Your Heart
Triumph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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'
Keep your dreams alive
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 will 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
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 will only lead to sorrow
Yes I know, you got to let it go
Oh, listen to the rhythm
Your heart won't lie
Rock and roll hearts
Just never die, never die
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 will only lead to sorrow
Follow your heart

Thank You for your services. Glad you made it back.
I had the absolute pleasure to tour with this band amongst many others as their Personal Body Guard and Protection
Specialist.
What a great bunch of CANADIAN Guys, thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and the hospitality of The Canadian East
Coast.
Thank You TRIUMPH,
Thank You East Cost, West Coast, and Central
Canada, you were too kind. Rock On.
All the very best, Gunner, and His Team of Misfit Cowboys.
Ricardo Castanheira
A band with fantastic musicians, underestimated, just because they were Canadian and lived unfairly in the shadow of Rush. For me, one of the best rock bands of all time
Tony Montenos
I love Triumph, but they were not on the level of Rush. No.
Amuz3d2Deth
I sometimes forget Rik wasn't always lead on vox. This brings tears to my eyes.
Leo Borganelli
Spot on!
Mike Henningsen
I don't think they ever felt that way, matter of fact, I just watched a Documentary on them yesterday, I won't spoil it for you, you have to watch it, it made me appreciate them more, and I also like RUSH!
Iulian S
@Fawn Hill rush is a progressive rock, different style, like all three bands
yesorlando05
These guys are beyond underrated. IMO, they're the most underrated group of all time. I remember seeing them in Myrtle Beach, SC in the early 80's when I was in high school. Simply incredible.
HighSpeedNoDrag
