do you know that pride can kill ya? i don't try to spike my pains with my nose. people are - here for the moment. gone forever. here for the moment. then we're gone forever. here for the moment. gone forever
said the sister from texas. i've seen 'em come and go
for as long as i been here;
yeah! there just ain't very much more now
that can make me cry. yeah

and vice versa;
there's one more thing i gotta get up to
and that's the real - that i was born to die
yeah

but i'm in there fighting everyday because i got a few more dreams in me. yes
i have!
and i wonder will the day come when every man with a heartbeat will knows that he's free?
yeah
