Dying to live


You know I`ve heard it`s said
There`s beauty in distortion
But some people who’d withdrawn
To find their heads
Now they say there`s
Tumour in disfortune
You know I won`t believe in their love
When they `re dead.

Why am I fighting to live if I`m find
They`re just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see
When there`s nothing inside?
Why am I trying to view you
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live when
I`m just living to die.

You know some people say
that values are subjective
But they`re just speaking well that song
Some one else is saying
So they live, and fight and kill
with no objective
sometimes It`s hard to tell a living from the den.

Why am fighting to live
If I`m just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
When there`s nothing in sight
Why am I trying to view you
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live
if I`m just living to die?

You know I used to eat my words into confusion
So I hope you`ll understand
You will I´m through
You know I used to live my life with an illusion
Oh but we`ll only make my dreams come true.

So I`ll keep fighting to live till
There`s no reason to fight
And I`ll keep trying to see
Until the end is inside
You know I`m trying to be here
So come one give me your try
You know I`m dying to live
Until I`m ready to die
Until I`m ready
Until god takes me….

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Cat Stevens, whose real name is Steven Demetre Georgiou, is a British singer-songwriter born in London on July 21, 1948. Active from the late 1960s until 1978, he then embraced Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, continuing his musical career with a more spiritual approach. Stevens is known for his melancholic and introspective folk-rock melodies, often accompanied by poetic lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, faith, and spirituality. Among his most celebrated songs are "Wild World", "Father and Son" and "Peace Train". The album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) is considered a classic of British folk-rock. After his conversion period, Yusuf Islam continued to release music with more religious lyrics, but he has always maintained a refined and poetic musical sensibility.
