We don't always see eye to eye
But we see how the time's flying by
And we live with a daunting suspicion
That it might not go into remission

So against all the odds we're competing
Though we don't know for sure what we're reading
In the old testament we'd get fire and torment
But the new one says something 'bout healing

We're dying to live
We're trying to live
We're dying to live
Cause there's so much to live for

Miracles don't seem all that fair
If I were God I would know who to scare
And I'd try to repay all the losses
That were caused by incompetent bosses

They knew how to launch an attack
While unarmed you lay flat on your back
And wait for the poison to cure you
Since faith ain't enough to insure you

We're dying to live
Cause there's so much to live for

Angels always get the best lines
Fear not must have worked back in biblical times
But we're full of the facts it's the cross on our backs
When we pray are we just closing our eyes

We're dying to live
We're trying to live
We're dying to live
Cause there's so much to live for
