I'm gonna climb inside this peaceful mind, and mind,
Shake it up, drop a bomb, tic toc, stop the clock
I need to feel alive, reach my sides, go and go,
When there's nothing left I will find it all
Wake me up from the coma-camera of lost time,
Let a bomb break out from the routine life,
Take a gun, set your target, let bullets fly,
Open up, shoot me down, break the sky
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
You only live if you try

We've been dropped, kicked, set-back, laughed at, body-one
Outside, inside, inside, stay alive,
We're not gonna give any time away,
But tomorrow will never be today,
If you want it, you get it, you have it, you get it,
you're not down with that,
You're bigger than that,
Here comes an afterthought back to pull you down,
Keep it up, push it back, take control,

You only live if you try
You only live if you try
I'm comin' out, I'm comin' out alive
You only live if you try
You only live if you try

Help me out of this console screen I'm in, smash it up,
Let me fly through the windowpane,
On the floor, I feel my legs again,
Through the floor a non-swimmer is diving in
To the blue, sky blanket that covers you,
We are free, in time to catch the morning break (break, break, break)
When we rise as the human race,
Wind us up, pull us back, watch us go
We only live if we try
We only live if we try
I'm comin' out, I'm comin' out alive
We only live if we try
We only live if we try
Wake the life that sleeps in you,
Wake the walls and let the light come through,
Meet me on the other side,
See the life you want through your own eyes
You only live if you try, you only live if you try, you only live if you try
