Wake Before I Die Lyrics

The sun is never late for a rise, and history with fools is never kind,
but will a craving child wake before he dies?

If I knew that my life would be over in another night ...
(what would be going on in my haid? What would be coming out of my mouth?)
Would I change? Would I find that I'm rushing to leave love behind?
(Would I be saying something real? Would I be brave enough to feel?)
Would I call the one I love, and tell him all my secrets?
(I'm wild about you, I'm wild about you, I think we've got the same soul ...)
Would I be embarrassed any longer, would I waste my time?
(Faux facades, veils, robes, I'm tired of hosting this show.)

Would I fall in love? Lost my pride? If I should wake before I die?
(If I should wake before I die, If I should wake before I die ...)
Would I let myself lose my mind, if I should wake before I die?
(if I shoudld wake before I die, if I should wake before I die ...)

Would I face, Would I find, Would I hold on to my peace of mind?
(Would I call up all my friends? Give out grace until the end?)
Would I finally take a chance? Charm the wind with my best dance ...
(You're blowing west and you blow the best, but I've got the east in my soul.)

If I knew that my life would be over in another night...
(What would be going on in my head, what would be coming out of my mouth?)
Would I change? Would I find that I'm rushing and leave love behind?
Would I call the one I love and tell him all my secrets?
(I'm wild about you, I'm wild about you, I think we've got the same soul ...)
