I've tasted fire
I'm ready to come alive
I can't just shut it up
And fake that I'm alright
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'll let it burn the way
The sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside
The way the day begins
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Cause every day
The world is made
A chance to change
But I feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die
To come alive
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I still believe we can live forever
You and I
We begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I
We're here together now
Forever now
Forever now
Or never now
Cause every day
The world is made
A chance to change
But I feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die
To come alive
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
Everyday a choice is made
Everyday I choose my fate
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die
To come alive
To come alive
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday I still feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die
To come alive
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
