What I want and what I need

is everything that I'm supposed to be

I have my hopes, I've got my dreams

I had to fight for what is right for me



And other things that I expect

I take them all 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



You tell me this, you tell me that

They wrote the rules but that ain't where it's at

They only dare to tell me lies

And do I listen? I don't even try



And life's an act, the worlds a stage

I'm like an animal outta my cage

I'm runnin' wild, I'm runnin' free

Just one shot at it is all we 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 outta 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
