When pressures up and the stress is high
and I wanna bid this world good bye
I'm gonna bury my frustrations
grab some of life's satisfactions
yeah I'm gonna live before I die

I try to find some peace of mind
when my life's treating me unkind
paiin will be my motivation
I'm gonna use my imagination
yeah I'm gonna live before I die

[Chorus:]
So close your eyes, and embrace your memories
leave your troubles and your worries far behind
stop contemplating and start celebrating
yeah you gotta live before you die

I think of chances I didn't take
i try to learn from my mistakes, yeah
I'm tired of being pushed around now
life ain't gonna drag me down now
yeah, I'm gonna live before I die

[Chorus]
