I Want To Live

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
