Once Before I Die - Jimmy Webb

When the moon rise wanders down the road

And asks me if I wanna ride you know I’m the same

It may be that I’ll go alone or with some gypsy angel by my side

But you know I’m the same

I’ve heard all of your lies, All false promises

All illusions, all delusions

I demand my right to stand

I’ll not die upon my knees

Now you can go out in the hall

And you can write that on the wall

Oh yes

Once before I die

Woah-oh-oh yes

I’m gonna be free

Woah yes I’m gonna be free

Once before I die

Woah, woah, yes I’m gonna be free

Yes I’m gonna be free

Once before I die

I’m gonna be free

I’m gonna be free

This summer when it rains I may not sleep before my clothes have dried

But you know I’m the same

I may not yet have lived

Or I may have already died

But you know I’m the same

I’ve heard all of your lines, all your false promises

They’re all behind me, they’ll never bind me

And I will steer my star by my own course or I will fall

You know they’ll never make me cry

And you can write that on the wall

Oh yes

Once before I die

Woah-oh-oh yes

I’m gonna be free

Woah yes I’m gonna be free

Once before I die

Woah, woah, yes I’m gonna be free

Yes I’m gonna be free

Once before I die

Once before I die

Once before I die

I’m gonna be free

Yes I’m gonna be free

I’m gonna be so free

Gonna be so free

I’m gonna be free

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, woah woah

Yes I’m gonna be free

Oh yes I am

Yes I’m gonna be free

Yes I’m gonna be free

Yes…
