I didn't know you would listen

I didn't know what I was saying before

Now you're walking in that door with a mission

I hope your mind changes some more

I wanna feel what it ' s like to attempt to be fly

Fall hard and crash down

I wanna know what it ' s like to get up and realize

That you never once backed down

I wanna smile like you

Cry like you

Die like you will

But not before I ' m born

Please let me live

I know this life will be no bed of roses

That ' s fine I ' ll dig through that dirt anyway

And if I do fight hard for both of us

I'm sure we can see brighter days

Hey

I wanna feel what it ' s like to attempt to be fly

Fall hard and crash down

I wanna know what it ' s like to get up and realize

That you never once backed down

I wanna smile like you

Cry like you

Die like you will

But not before I ' m born

Please let me live
