I Have Lived

歌詞

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
