When I take a one way ticket to the road of no return |
|
On a journey every man must make someday |
|
When it's time to meet my maker and explain my sins away |
|
I will tell him, yes I'll tell him I have lived |
|
I have lived each single moment, as a man of flesh and blood |
|
with my soul and all my senses open wide |
|
I have lived and tasted everything |
|
that called out to be tried |
|
I'm afraid of neither heaven nor of hell |
|
Never caring if I had a soul to sell |
|
I was no more optimistic than my fellow man would be |
|
I have always been an artist not a saint |
|
Now the neon lights are dimming no more costumes no more paint I admit that I was selfish, I have lived |
|
I have lived a life of running after joy & happiness |
|
With my feelings always tearing at my heart |
|
Oh my lord, I should have thought of my salvation at the start |
|
But I lived so many mornings I was told |
|
You would take a sinner back into the fold. |
|
If my reasons seems too fragile and my words of no effect and forgiveness is the one thing I must win |
|
I'll explain my life and show you all I am and all I've been and I'll save in my defence, well I have lived |
|
I have lived with soul on fire with desire in my skin |
|
in the name of everyone I've ever known |
|
I have worshipped every shrine of love and if I must at all I'll be ready then to kneel and pay the price |
|
For the yesterday's I spent in paradise |
|
I have lived, My Life |
