lyrics

Now I know that life’s too short
And now I see the pain I caused
With this internal war I fought
And now I wonder why
I ever wanted to die

And as I face toward my end
I only want to live again
And if I get a second chance
This time I will not let
This life pass me by

Because I’m dying to live again
I’m dying to live again
I’m dying to live

For years I just lived to die
Not knowing for what or why
I'm living this life of fear
But now it’s becoming clear

That this world is suffering
And this life is pain
But given the chance
I’d live it all again

'Cause I’m dying to live again
I’m dying to live again
I’m dying
…to live

When we are young
In the morning of our lives
We ascend toward the light
We do not fear the night

But as evening slowly closes in
Too quickly we descend
Toward darkness
…to the end

You close your eyes that final time
And realise 'this is how I die
What was that life I’ve left behind?'
These are the thoughts that cross your mind

I’m dying to live again
I’m dying to live again
I’m dying to live

I’m dying to live again
I’m dying to live again
…I’m dying'
