Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself
To wake myself
I feel like I'm just sleep walkin' through my life
It's like I'm swimmin' in the 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
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 breathin'
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 a 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 any breath I can get
I wanna live, yeah yeah
