I saw Jacob, he lay in the street

He said the air out here is like amphetamine

And I never ever wanna sleep again

I wanna live till I die



The took all his money and all that he had

But he smiled with his eyes

and his face was bright red

And spit would run from his mouth when he said

I wanna live till I die



'Cause I am alive and there's blood in my arms

This is a day that is brighter than bombs

This is a day that is brighter than bombs

I will live till I die

Till I die



There's more inside of me than skin and bones

I am born again today and

all my sins are washed away

There's more inside of me than skin and bones



Jacob sat on the roof and he said

Some day the earth will cast out its dead

If you dwell in the dust then wake up and sing

I will live till I die



Jacob smiled when he said to me

I am not waiting on the Red Sea

To open up and rain pearls on me

I will live till I die

Till I die



There's more inside of me than skin and bones

I am born again today

and all my sins are washed away

There's more inside of me than skin and bones



As long as I live and there's blood in my arms

This is a day that is brighter than bombs

This is a day that is brighter than bombs

This is a day that is brighter than bombs.
