Sometimes I feel like I need to
Shake myself to wake myself
I feel like I'm just asleep 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'
To 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
