Jonny Lang Album: Long Time Coming Track: Dying to Live
Dying to Live Lyrics
You know I've heard it said theres beauty in distortion By some people who withdraw to find their head And they say there is humor in misfortune No, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
[Chorus] Why am I fighting to live If I'm just living to fight Why am I trying to see When there aint nothing in sight Why am I trying to give When noone gives me a try Why am I dying to live If I'm just living to die
You know some people say that values are subjective But theyre just speaking words That someone else has said And so they live and fight and kill with no objective Sometimes its hard to tell the living from the dead
[Chorus]
You know I used to weave My words into confusion And so I hope you'll understand me When I'm through You know I used to live my life as an illusion But reality wil make my dream come true
So I'll keep fighting to live Till theres no reason to fight And I'll keep trying to see Until the end is in sight You know I'm trying to give So come on Give me a try You know I'm dying to live Until I'm ready to die
