By the time, by the time,
I can't remember standing
I'm standing above the line
that has followed me around
Beginning of all the time
The living of all the time
You take away the very life
I swear I'm ready to live
Ready to live, ready to live
I swear I'm ready to give
Direction, that's not enough
and leave us in rejection
Rejection, oh for the time
Can you tell me how you sacrifice the living,
the living, oh for the time
Can take away the very life
we're giving, we're giving
Ready to leave, ready to leave
Please believe, I swear, I'm ready to give
And when you come to take our lives
We shouldn't give, we shouldn't give
But if you choose to pass us by
We'll try to live, we'll try to live
Please believe, please believe
I swear I'm ready to live, to live, to live
Ready to live, ready to live
Please believe, believe, I swear
I'm ready to give, to give, all I can give
Please believe, please believe, I swear
I'm ready to live, to live, to live,
ready to live, ready to live
Please believe, I swear, I'm ready, to give,
