I don't want to die young Cause I feel my life has just begun So many things I want to do before I'm done I don't want to die young And I don't want to die alone I want to be around my family and home I want someone to miss me dearly when I'm gone I don't want to die alone But it's so hard To make it right To get it right And it's so hard To live my life, live my life I don't want to die poor But all I need is just some shelter and a floor Sleeping places that I've never been before I don't want to die poor I don't want to die in shame I apologize for all that I'm to blame Can't just forget and leave regrets or burn in flames I don't want to die in shame But it's so hard To get it right To make it right And it's so hard To live my life, live my life I'm just trying to live my life I won't always get it right It's a struggle, it's a fight But I know my future's bright And if you look into my heart You will see it's just like yours Full of love and hope and dreams and so much more But it's so hard To get it right To make it right And it's so hard To live my life, to live my life I don't want to die in vain I want to fight for you through thunder and the rain Cause I know for me you'd do the very same I don't want to die in vain And I don't want to die young Because I feel my life has just begun So many things I want to do before I'm done I don't want to die young I don't want to die young I don't want to die young I don't want to die young
