  • What I want and what I need
    Is everything that I'm supposed to be
    I have my hopes, I've got my dreams
    I had to fight for what is right for me

    And other things that I expect
    I take them all and I have no regrets
    Life's too short, there's no rain check
    Just one shot at it is all you get

    I wanna live before I die
    Don't want the world to pass me by
    I wanna live, I wanna live before I die

    You tell me this, you tell me that
    They wrote the rules but that ain't where it's at
    They only dare to tell me lies
    And do I listen? I don't even try

    And life's an act, the worlds a stage
    I'm like an animal outta my cage
    I'm runnin' wild, I'm runnin' free
    Just one shot at it is all we need

    I wanna live before I die
    Don't want the world to pass me by
    There's so much more I wanna try
    I wanna live

    I wanna live before I die
    Don't want the world to pass me by
    I wanna live, I wanna live before I die

    I can't wait around, I just can't waste my time
    I don't care if you think that I'm outta my mind

    I wanna live before I die
    Don't want the world to pass me by
    There's so much more I wanna try
    I wanna live

    I wanna live before I die
    Don't want the world to pass me by
    I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

    I wanna live before I die
    Don't want the world to pass me by
    I wanna live, I wanna live before I die
