If I Should Wake

If I should wake before I die

Live to see my spirit fly

On journeys of my hearts old joys

Singing my old songs in my own voice

Be what they said that I could not

Go where they said that i should not

Break from the shackles of the past

Be free at last, be free at last

To a brave new world I lift up my eyes

Look unafraid to where the future lies

I'll banish fear, and selfish greed

To follow where my spirit leads

For some may seek to diminish me

I'll strive to be all I can be

For I'll know truth, and scorn the lie

If I should wake before I die

Deep in my soul, this vision bright

Lights up my darkest, and my longest night

Although I may never see that new dawn break

If I should die before I wake

I may never see that new dawn break

If I should die before I wake
