On the streets where I used to live
Where the child became a man
What I thought would always be
Were just castles made of sand

Kicking in the doors of Eden
Bursting into flames and I'm gonna crash
Hiding won't stop the flooding
And the rain is gonna head my way
But I don't wanna close my eyes

One life - burning inside me
One life - I gotta break free
I'm living my life without these walls
One life - my life
One life - do it without fear
One life - seeing it so clear
I'm living my life without these walls
One life - my life

I'm going back where I wanna be
This is real not a memory
Made of steel with a heart of gold
Is where we meet when I grow old

Time is not my friend I hate it
I thought we'd never die
I was young and free
Counting down the days I still got
And I really gotta make them last
No I don't wanna close my eyes

One life - burning inside me
One life - I gotta break free
I'm living my life without these walls
One life - my life
One life - do it without fear
One life - seeing it so clear
I'm living my life without these walls
One life - my life
