I Want to Live

Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself To wake myself I feel like I'm just sleepwalking through my life It's like I'm swimming in an ocean of emotion But still somehow slowly going numb inside I don't like who I'm becoming I know I've gotta do something Before my life passes right by I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful morning Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringing Fight with the devil and go down swinging 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 Now that I'm in it, I keep wishing it would fall So I could feel the ground beneath me Really taste this air I'm breathing And know that I'm alive I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful morning Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringing Fight with the devil and go down swinging 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 live Something deep inside keeps saying Life is like a vapor It's gone in just the twinkling of an eye I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful morning Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringing Fight with the devil and go down swinging 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 take every breath I can get I want to live Yeah, yeah
