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 my life
It's like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion
But still some how 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 wanna cry like the rain, cry like the rain
To 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
To 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
Its gone in just a twinklin' of an eye

I wanna cry like the rain, cry like the rain
To 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
