I Want to Live

Sometimes I feel like I need, to shake myself, to wake myself

I feel like I'm just sleepwalkin' through my life

It's like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion

But still somehow slowly goin' numb inside

I don't like who I'm becomin'

I know I've gotta do somethin'

Before my life passes right by

I want to cry like the rain

Cry like the rain

Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'

Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringin'

Fight with the devil and go down swingin'

Fly like a bird, roll like a stone

Love like I ain't afraid to be alone

Take everything that this world has to give

I want to live

Sometimes I wonder

Why I work so hard to guard my heart

'Til I hardly feel anything at all

I've spent my whole life building up this ivory tower

And now that I'm in it, I keep wishin' it would fall

So I could feel the ground beneath me

Really taste this air I'm breathin'

And know that I'm alive

I want to cry like the rain

Cry like the rain

Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'

Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringin'

Fight with the devil and go down swingin'

Fly like a bird, roll like a stone

Love like I ain't afraid to be alone

Take everything that this world has to give

I want to live

Somethin' deep inside

Keeps sayin' life is like a vapor

It's gone in just the twinklin' of an eye

I want to cry like the rain

Cry like the rain

Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'

Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringin'

Fight with the devil and go down swingin'

Fly like a bird, roll like a stone

Love like I ain't afraid to be alone

Take everything that this world has to give

I want to live

I want to take every breath I can get

I want to live, yeah, yeah
