Dying To Live Lyrics - The Definitive Collection - Edgar Winter

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion 

By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads 

Now they say that there is humor in misfortune 

You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead 

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight? 

Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight? 

Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? 

Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die? 

Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective, 

But they're just speaking words that someone else has said. 

And so they live and fight and kill with no objective 

Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight? 

Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight? 

Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? 

Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die? 

Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion 

And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through 

You know I used to live my life as an illusion, 

But reality will 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 in sight 

You know I'm trying to give so see'mon give me a try 

You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready 

'til I'm ready 

'til I'm ready 

'til I'm ready to die
