A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn?
I think I found my place
Can’t you feel it growing stronger?
Little conquerors
Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don’t you pay no mind?
Set me free again
To keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first to climb another state of mind
I’m on my knees, I’m praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I’m on my knees
I never wanna die
I’m dancing on my grave
I’m running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I’ll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever
Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
This song help me immensely. I was struck down a year this week . Paralysed unable to breathe without life support, had to learn how to breathe unaided, talk again, walk again , eat again. Guillain Barre Syndrome. I have since recovered about 95%. When your in agony painful nerve endings and massive muscle wastage and you have this playing when you are pushing through the pain barrier doing physio in a rehab hospital the words are so motivational. I never wanna die I was running through the fire, dancing on my grave and learning to walk and talk again . Thanks Dave you fuckin helped me man.
Recently had part of my foot reconstructed, this song has a whole different meanibg now. Just makes me feel better to see this again and be able to use it as inspiration.
Every time I listen and sing this hymn of life, my eyes fill with tears. I think of all the times I've lost hope. YOU KEEP ALIVE A MOMENT AT THE TIME ... it is like remembering the feeling of being on the edge of the precipice you know. Music leads me to feel that angst of being between life and death. * The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
The first decline, another state of mind I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die * is when you realize that you can still live and that there is something worthwhile even if you don't know what it is and you cling to that little hope ... Thank you foo for saving my life so many times
