let me die

tossed by the tempest of life

a victim of storms i contrive

it feels like the best is behind

and i can't go back

the eye of the storm satisfies

i watch the chaos from inside

but the wind turns and i realize

that i can't go back

that i can't go back

so i go pressing on through the wind and the waves

if i drown let me go so that you can be saved

it don't matter if people remember my name

i have lived

i have lived

so let me die

i fight against what lies beneath

it's just my will against the sea

i've never been one to give in

of all the virtues i have lacked

the need to fight has been my anchor

i could never ask for you to save me

no your will could never calm the seas i'm braving

so i go pressing on through the wind and the waves

if i drown let me go so that you can be saved

it don't matter if people remember my name

i have lived

i have lived

so let me die

let me die

let me die

so i go pressing on through the winds and the waves

if i drown let me go so that you can be saved

it don't matter if people remember my name

i have lived

i have lived

so i go pressing on through the wind and the waves

if i drown let me go so that you can be saved

it don't matter if people remember my name

i have lived

i have lived

let me die

i have lived

so let me die

i have lived

let me die
