I don't want to die (rewrite 1)


I don't want to die
I want to live forever
in this poor old world
of treasures and gold
I want to be a child again
and get it right this time
curious and carefree
no thought of getting old

I don't want to die
I want life to take me
on a neverending journey
past the sorrow of my youth
I want possibilities
of living in this world
I want what I know inside me
to be the truth

          but life keeps moving
          forward and fast
          my present too quickly
          turns into the past
          all that I want
          is this living to last
          a lifetime

I don't want to die
I like it here on earth
my mind enjoys it here
where the stars shine at night
and the wind blows softly
and the branches dance
I'm living in wonder
at the thrill of the sight

          but life keeps moving
          forward and fast
          the present too quickly
          turns into the past
          all that I want
          is this living to last
          a lifetime

I don't want to die
life is too short
to do everything here
that I want to do
I don't want to die
I don't need a funeral
all that I want
is to be here with you
