Jus' Sleepwalkin' Through My Life ....

If you’ve never heard Josh Gracin sing “I Want To Live”, you’ve missed out. I like country music … don’t love all of it … but I like it … like some songs/artists quite a bit and grew up surrounded by it. Actually though, I prefer rock/pop/alternative music.

This said, I must tell you that Josh Gracin is one powerful new country singer. He sings with such emotion and depth, that you feel it humming through your body. To me "I Want To Live" is one of those songs that makes you sit up and take notice. Notice of how you are living your life ... or are not.

I Want To Live

Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself;
I feel like I’m just sleep walkin’ through my life.
It’s like I’m swimmin’ in an ocean of emotion,
But still, somehow, slowly goin’ numb inside.
I don’t like who I’m becomin’, I know I’ve gotta do somethin’,
Before my life passes right by.

I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
An’ shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin’,
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin’,
Fight with the devil an’ go down swingin’,
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain’t afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give;
I wanna live.

Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart,
Well, I hardly feel anything at all.
I’ve spend my whole life buildin’ up this ivory tower,
Now that I’m in it, I keep wishin’ it would fall.
So I can feel the ground beneath me, really taste this air I’m breathin’,
And know that I’m alive.

I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
An’ shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin’,
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin’,
Fight with the devil an’ go down swingin’,
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain’t afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give;
I wanna live.
I wanna live.

Somethin’ deep inside keeps sayin’ life is like a vapor;
It’s gone in just the twinklin’ of an eye.

I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
An’ shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin’,
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin’,
Fight with the devil an’ go down swingin’,
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain’t afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give.
I wann take every breath I can get.
I wanna live.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy every blessed moment of it!
