I Want To Live Lyrics

I Want To Live lyrics

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,
