Live This Life Lyrics
Met a man on the street last night, he said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night
Thought he was crazy till, I watched Him heal a blind man
I watched Him heal a blind man, now I see
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Met a girl in a chair with wheels, but no one else would see her
Met a girl in a chair with wheels
Everyone was so afraid to even look down on her
And she just spread her little wings and flew away
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Live here anymore
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Met a kid on a bridge last night, comtemplating freedom
Met a kid on a bridge last night
And he said, "I'm tired of this maddening life and I'm ready to go meet Jesus"
I said, "He's a friend of mine, met Him just last night, and it's all right, yeah"
It's all right, yeah
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Live here anymore
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Met a man on the street last night, said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night
Met a man on the street last night
Thought he was crazy till, I watched Him heal a blind man
I watched Him heal a blind man, now I see
Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Met a girl in a chair with wheels
Everyone was so afraid to even look down on her
And she just spread her little wings and flew away
Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Met a kid on a bridge last night, comtemplating freedom
Met a kid on a bridge last night
And he said, "I'm tired of this maddening life and I'm ready to go meet Jesus"
I said, "He's a friend of mine, met Him just last night, and it's all right, yeah"
It's all right, yeah
Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Met a man on the street last night, said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night

Wow, this song is gorgeously done. It's about suicide: "Met a girl in a chair with wheels, but no one else would see her Met a girl in a chair with wheels Everyone was so afraid to even look down on her And she just spread her little wings and flew away "
and
"Met a kid on a bridge last night, comtemplating freedom Met a kid on a bridge last night And he said, "I'm tired of this maddening life and I'm ready to go meet Jesus"
And also about how no matter what, he will strive to live as long as he can: "I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore "
Even if you're not really religious, like me, it has a great message, and because it's so beautifully sung, it's even just a great song to listen to without analyzing. Might even be my fav from Big + Rich.
it is all about faith; things, thoughts, ideas, worlds, that are bigger then your own self interest.
