I Want To Live
Josh Gracin
Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself:
I feel like I'm just sleep walkin' through out 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,
An' shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' 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 wanna live
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart
Well, I hardly feel anything at all
I've spent my whole life buildin' up this ivory tower
Now that I'm in it, I keep wishin' it would fall
So I can 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,
An' shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' 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 wanna live,
I wanna 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,
An' shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' 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 wanna take every breath I can get:
I wanna live.
Yeah, yeah...
I think there's a new country song about my life...
