Time to live
Let me see the sunshine
let me feel the rain
let me go where i wanna go
i wanna smell the flowers
see the dawn again
find those friends i used to know
Well, i spent twenty long years
in a dirty old prison cell
i never saw the light of day
if you could understand
oh, that kind of living hell
that's the price i have to pay
that's the price i have to pay
They say i killed a man
but i never told them why
so you can guess
what i've been through
so for twenty long years
i've been thinking of that other guy
and what i saw him do to you
what i saw him do to you
Listen here
so if tomorrow comes
and i walk outside that door
try to understand the strain
but if you smile that smile
i know i couldn't ask for more
i know i'd do it all again
yes, i would
i know i'd do it all again
