until i've lived my life - lucy spraggan lyrics
[verse 1]
he’s a father, a man
he’s a husband with stories he tells
of days that he lived through
and things that he watched die as well
he said “i’ve fought wars and i’ve had my day
i was forced to be strong, i was taught to be brave and i was
i saw things that weren’t meant to be seen
i would have lost it all for my country and queen but i’m here
i took the hand of a mixed race girl
and she showed me to love, yeah she showed me the world
now i’m dying”
[hook]
but i can’t die
no i can’t die
until i’ve lived my life
[verse 2]
she’s a mother, a woman
a grandma with secrets she kept
and some of those secrets were the only thing she had left
she said “i saw women in magazines
who i could have known, who i could have been, yeah that’s right
cast my hands in those concrete slabs
i just wanted to sing, i just wanted to dance every night
and i had visions and i had dreams
but they weren’t the same as my husband and children at home
and i made choices that weren’t alright
and i lived my life being someone’s wife, don’t i know?”
[hook]
but i can’t die
no i can’t die
[bridge]
i hope there are smiles in the crowd
when i’m lowered into the ground
and the earth, takes me back
and they’ll say i did all i can
and i’ll sleep with no dreams in my mind
’cause my dreams were so very alive
[hook]
but this time
no i can’t die
until i’ve lived my life
no, i can’t die
no, i can’t die
until i’ve lived my life
