I'D Rather Live

I'd rather live in that plane that takes me towards the sky 
then sit here on earth doing nothing but waiting to die 

I'd rather go to the place of my birth and drink fine wine 
and if my heart is still beats, then its a real good sign

With blush on my cheek and fire in my soul I want to appear  
before my maker, with laughter on my cheeks and not a tear 

to spare....
