You face the fire but live to see today

I know you're tired of trying to push through all the pain

There's only ash now where I used to be

You think there's nothing left but there's a lot trust me

I know it's not the life you planned

The life you dreamed it began

But this is what this is what is

And what is is all you've got

There's still the light

There's still the sky

There's still the leaves that rustle in the breeze

Still days to spend

Still hands to hold

You still have the time you still have the breath

You still run away from death

But everybody dies so while you're still alive live

While you're still alive live

It seems they're gone when someone dies

We change into forms that you don't recognize

I stay alive inside your memory

In a photographs I'm in all you see

I know I'm not the son you dreamed

The son you hoped that I would be

And I was not the son you thought

But I was the son you got

Still standing here

Still close to you

Still want the chance to cheer you when you dance

Still counting days

Still holding hands

You still have the time you still have the breath

So why run away from death?

Yes everybody dies so while you're still alive

Live live big and full and deep

And when you cry let yourself weep

And when you laugh laugh like hell

And when you're mad go 'head and yell

Really take in all you see

Every person that you'll ever meet

In the time left in your life why not truly be

Alive?

There's still the leaves that rustle in the breeze

Still days to spend

Still hands to hold

You still have the time you still have the breath

I still have the time I still have the breath

So don't run away from death

Yes everybody dies

So while you're still alive

Yes everybody dies

So while I'm still alive

Live
