Lyrics

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
