I've tasted fire,
I'm ready to come alive
I can't just shut it up
and fake that I'm alright
I'm ready now,
I'm not waiting for the afterlifeI'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now'Cause every day the world is made
A chance to change but I feel the same
And I wonder "why would I wait 'til I die to come alive?"
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlifeYeahI still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now, foreverI still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now,
Forever now, forever now, but never now'Cause every day the world is made
A chance to change but I feel the same
And I wonder "why would I wait 'til I die to come alive?"
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlifeEvery day, a choice is made,
Every day I choose my fate
And i wonder "why would I wait 'til I die to come alive?" To come alive?
Every day, every day, every day I still feel the same,
And I wonder "why would I wait 'til I die to come alive?"
I'm ready now I'm not waiting for the afterlifeI'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
