(verse 1)
Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself,
I fell like I'm just sleep walkin through out life,
It's like I'm swimmin in an ocean of emotion,
But still somehow slowly goin numb inside,
(pre-cho)
I don't like who I'm becommin,
I know I've gotta to do somethin,
before my life passes right by-eye
(chorus)
I want to 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 gi--ive,
I wanna live
(verse 2)
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart,
I hardly do 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,
(pre-cho)
So I can feel the ground beneath me,
Really taste this air I'm breathin,
And know that I'm ali--ive,
(chorus)
I want to 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 gi--ive,
I wanna live
I wanna live
(verse 3)
Somethin deep inside keeps sayin life is like a vapor,
It's gone in just a twinklin of an eye,
(chorus)
I want to 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 gi--ive,
I wanna take every breath I can get
I wanna live
