I Wanna Live

Do you see me?

Do you hear me?

Why'd you go away

oh, why'd they take you from me?

 

Mama not here anymore

Papa gone dead from the war

Fighting my friends

Blood on my hand

my sister got sores all over

 

( x2)

No place to call home

god I'm so cold

theres no one to hold

does somebody know?

 

I just wanna get a chance to live

just wanna get a chance to live

just wanna be a normal kid

just wanna be a normal kid

 

I just wanna get a chance to live

just wanna get a chance to live

just wanna be a kid

just wanna get a way from him

 

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

oh, I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live life

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

no more goodbyes

 

It'll be over soon, thats what my folks said

Though its been four years, now my folks dead

Four years since they burnt the house and mutilated them

since they gang raped my sister, I'd never see her again eh

 

no place to call home, I got no family or friends

they looted all my money, I ain't got a single cent

the closest thing to a friend are the freedom fighters that kill

the same ones that took my family with a sniper, the thrill

 

rebuilt my life, hands me a gun cause I'm a bit taller

i've seen enough horror, they'd said they give me water

send me to the frontlines, now I'm part of the slaughter

if I make it back, I watch them have sex with another daughter

 

There's not a day where I don't see a brother die

My tears have dried already, inside I'm fuckin cryin'

Whats the point of dreamin of the life I want

I know a few more days, and I'll also be gone.

 

what did we do to deserve this life?

stuck in the middle of all this strife?

i just wanna get one chance

I just wanna get one chance

 

why do i live my life?

i'm surrounded by lies

i just wanna get one chance

I just wanna get one chance
