[Verse 1]
If I should wake before I die
Live to see my spirit fly
On journeys of my hearts old joys
Singing my old songs in my own voice
Be what they said that I could not
Go where they said that i should not
Break from the shackles of the past
Be free at last, be free at last

[Verse 2]
To a brave new world I lift up my eyes
Look unafraid to where the future lies
I'll banish fear, and selfish greed
To follow where my spirit leads
For some may seek to diminish me
I’ll strive to be all I can be
For I'll know truth, and scorn the lie
If I should wake before I die

[Verse 3]
Deep in my soul, this vision bright
Lights up my darkest, and my longest night
Although I may never see that new dawn break
If I should die before I wake
I may never see that new dawn break
If I should die before I wake
