When You Know (Where You Come From) - Scorpions

With your head up in the clouds

You try to win the race

You're the leader of the pack

Always

The candle keeps burning from both ends

Until it's blowing out with a bang

When you think you know the game

You don't know anything at all

You cross the red line once again

Free fall

Hope you've learned your lesson well, my friend

'Cause there will always be a second chance

When you know where you come from

You know where you're going

Just because you're a child of your time

When you know where you come from

You back down for no one

Just be true to yourself, it's your life

And you keep driving down the highway of your life

There is no exit sign at all

There is a warning light that's flashing all the time

And only you can stop your downfall

And only you can stop your downfall

With your head up in the clouds

Your angels by your side

Someone up there keeps your dreams

Alive

The candle keeps burning from both ends

And the road calls your name once again

When you know where you come from

You know where you're going

Just because you're a child of your time

When you know where you come from

You back down for no one

Just be true to yourself, it's your life

Just be true to yourself, it's your life
