Just Once Before I Die

JUST ONCE BEFORE I DIE

I would like to lift my head toward the sky
And be given the answers to all my questions why

JUST ONCE BEFORE I DIE

I would like to go somewhere that no one else has ever been
And bear witness to something that no one else has ever seen

JUST ONCE BEFORE I DIE

I would like to know what it's like to truly be free
And truly be the entity that I was meant to be

JUST ONCE BEFORE I DIE

I would like to live!
