Lyrics

Before I Die

I tried to climb up the mountainside
Couldn't find a hold, thought I'd lose my mind
So many others moved on past
Wondered what they knew that helped them move so fast

I just tried to hold on tight and
I prayed things would turn out right
I'll go on climbing don't plan to stop
Till I make my way to the mountaintop

I tried to swim inthe dep blue sea
Hard to stay afloat, had to fight to breathe
Looked so easy wondered what I lacked
When I saw people ride the dolphins back

I kept my head, I felt no hate
As I struggled in the riseing waves
Now I won't quit the ocean wide
Till I get on over to the other side

I searched for love she was hard to trace
When I thought I'd found her she'd step away
I'd see the lovers smiling in the sun
And ask myself whet went wrong

Sometimes my heart wieghed like stone as I climbed on up or swam alone
Still I don't think love's a lie
And I'll find her
Before I die
