Do I Die? (Lyrics)

This Is A Song I Wrote Called 'Do I Die' 



I stand/ 
With eagle eyes I look over the horizon/ 
I stare/ 
Tears falling with each breath/ 
The heavy moist air settling like dew drops on my breasts/ 
Could I fall?/ 
Could I jump?/ 
Could I fly?/ 
Away/ 
The edge of the cliff/ 
Is in front of my face//

Lend me wings/ 
If it would be the right thing/ 
To allow me to break free/ 
From this misery/ 
Or let me fall/ 
So I can be no more/ 
And my screams wont haunt the world/ 
Ill jump for my destiny/ 
And God can make the choice for me/ 
Do I sing?/ 
Do I cry?/ 
Do I scream?//

I see/ 
With new found clarity/ 
That my heart wont ever be free/ 
Its bound in chains/ 
Soffocating/ 
I fall/ 
Ive never felt so free before/ 
My breath is stolen like before/ 
When someone use to be mine/ 
I could jump/ 
And I could fly/ 
But tonight I think/ 
Ill peacefully die//

Lend me wings/ 
If it would be the right thing/ 
To allow me to break free/ 
From this misery/ 
Or let me fall/ 
So I can be no more/ 
And my screams wont haunt the world/ 
Ill jump for my destiny/ 
God can choose for me/ 
Do I sing?/ 
Or cry?/ 
Do I sing?/
Do I sing?//

[End]

Hana Ryusaka July 3, 2009 at 8:16 AM do I cry or do I sing? I've felt this emotion so many times before... great job! =]

Kelli Egloff-Metzgar June 17, 2009 at 8:18 PM These lyrics really touched somethimg in me, I have felt this way before--please consider trying to get this all the way to the radio--HINDER (the group) would really do it well. Good Luck! Kelli

James Marshall Goff June 11, 2009 at 1:15 PM Boo, I feel a sense of some negativity needing to come to a head...also a spiritual hope for the future (very strong!) with much strength in the last stanza! really "first-rate" song!!! and thanks for your sweet comments on so many of my poems! some of my stuff is written in kind of a self-hypnotic trance, that's when I get the clearest impressions, Jim
