I want to live
Where they’ll change what they have done, yeah
I must die
Cold and shunned by the sun, yeaheaheah

Why should I stay
Where there are people that hate?
The things I need
And making me wait, yeaheaheah

They will teach you the hows instead of the why’s
They will turn your truth into lies

I feel like crying
When I’m groping for a way
To stop it from going
'Cause I want it, want it to stay, yeaheah

They will teach you the hows instead of the why’s
They will turn your truth into lies

I wanna live
Try, look and understand
I needed you to take hold of my hand

And pull me up, yeaheaheah
I feel but I can’t, yes, I do

I wanna, I wanna live
Yes, I want to live, baby
To feel and
I’m gonna lose it, yeah
