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 (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...
