On the streets where I used to live Where the child became a man What I thought would always be Were just castles made of sand Kicking in the doors of Eden Bursting into flames and I'm gonna crash Hiding won't stop the flooding And the rain is gonna head my way But I don't wanna close my eyes One life - burning inside me One life - I gotta break free I'm living my life without these walls One life - my life One life - do it without fear One life - seeing it so clear I'm living my life without these walls One life - my life I'm going back where I wanna be This is real not a memory Made of steel with a heart of gold Is where we meet when I grow old Time is not my friend I hate it I thought we'd never die I was young and free Counting down the days I still got And I really gotta make them last No I don't wanna close my eyes One life - burning inside me One life - I gotta break free I'm living my life without these walls One life - my life One life - do it without fear One life - seeing it so clear I'm living my life without these walls One life - my life
