What I want is what I need
Is everything that I'm supposed to be
Have my hopes....
I've got my dreams
I have to fight for what is right for me

Everything that I expect
I take in and I have no regrets
Life's too short, there's no rain check
Just one shot at it is all you get

I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die

Ya tell me this, ya tell me that!
Ya make the rules that's where it's at
They hold me down, they tell me lies
Do I listen? I don't even try

Listen at, the world's a stage
I'm like an animal out of my cage
I'm runnin' wild, I'm runnin' free
Just one shot at it is all I need
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
There's so much more I wanna try
I wanna live

I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die

I can't wait around, I just can't waste my time
I don't care if you think that I'm mad out of my mind

I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
There's so much more I wanna try
I wanna live

I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live
I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
