Live Forever
Lyrics (c) Fox Lee 1999-2008 (http://foxlee.arts-eclectic.com)

These roads are hard to follow
With every day life brings us down
I saw us holding on sometimes, I wondered why we do
I looked for answers; I looked to you
And you said

"Life begins every time you close your eyes,
And if you don't wake up you live forever"

So tell me now if you're leaving
And let me have the time to cry
You think we'll meet again tomorrow
I think I need to say goodbye

These days are long and hollow
With every breath our hope wears thin
The morning is a future we might never live to see
You look for courage, but you can't look at me
When you say

"Life begins every time you close your eyes,
And if you don't wake up you live forever"

So tell me now, if you're leaving,
Why are you still afraid to die?
If I am lost and you beloved
There ought to be a reason why
Why do you still, as night is falling,
See all that blinded human eyes?
When there is nothing but the darkness,
I'll wish that you could tell me why

These years, we've lived in shadow,
Every moment waiting for the day,
Sometimes reality's so hard to get your head around,
We looked for freedom, and freedom's what we found

Lies begin every time you close your mind
And if you don't wake up they live forever

So tell me now, if you're leaving,
Why are you still afraid to die?
If I am lost and you beloved
There ought to be a reason why

So tell me now, if you're leaving,
Why were you looking to the skies?
You think I never understood you
I think you never meant to lie
So much for all your talk of justice,
How is this fair in heaven's eyes?
What could you fear so much you needed
A greater reason than just life?

Remember me, I will live and die with pride
And no-one needs to live forever
