I Want To Live

If you’ve ever found yourself near deaths door

The instinct to survive is what you’re fighting for

At that sobering moment of icy cold reality

Everything in life seems a senseless formality

The Shock of knowing, this could be your last breath

Heightens awareness that this could mean death

Your heart at full speed while gasping for air

Crying for help but there is no one there

Beads of cold sweat form on your brow

Convincing yourself, I can’t die now

Lost in a panic giving into prayer

Can’t share farewells, No time to spare

So desperate and scared you hold on tight

Your knees getting weak a fading of light

Facing death alone, a journey we must make

Begging God for help, holding onto faith

How fragile we are as we face our fears

So humbling and naked, flashing back the years

Than a miracle happens, we are back in our skin

We vow to our God, never to sin again…
