"Dying to Live" Written by Edgar Winter You know I've heard it said There's beauty in distortion By some people who've Withdrawn to find their heads Now they say that there is Humor in misfortune You know, I wonder if They'll laugh when I am dead Why am I fighting to live If I 'm just living to fight? Why am I trying to see When there ain't nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give When no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live If I'm just living to die? You know some people say That values are subjective But they're just speaking words That someone else has said And so they live and fight And kill with no objective Sometimes it's hard to tell The living from the dead Why am I fighting to live If I 'm just living to fight? Why am I trying to see When there ain't nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give When no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live If I'm just living to die? You know I used to weave My words into confusion So I hope you'll understand me Mhen I 'm through You know I used to live My life as an illusion But reality will make My dreams come true And I'll keep fighting to live Till there's no reason to fight And I'll keep trying to see Until the end is in sight You know I'm trying to give So come on, give me a try You know I'm dying to live Until I'm ready Until I'm ready Until I'm ready 'Til I'm ready to die | Other Artists who have recorded or sampled this song: 2Pac ft.
