I Want to Live Songtext
von Josh Gracin

Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself
I feel like I′m just sleep-walking 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 got to do somethin'
Before my life passes right by

I wanna 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 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 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 breathing
And know that I′m alive

I wanna 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 wanna live
I wanna live

Something deep inside keeps saying life is like a vapor
It's gone in just the twinklin' of an eye


I wanna 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 wanna take every breath I can get
I wanna live

Yeah, yeah
