I was born right by the mountain From a place where eagles would sore Now I´m saying goodbye to my hometown I´m going where I never been before See my daddy was a farmer and mama see was a nurse
Told me stories about the world, I´m about to find what it´s worth Mama don´t you cry, daddy please just say goodbye Cause, I´ve gotta live before I die, but I´ll be coming back home soon (But I´ll be coming back home soon)
Now I´m standing by the streetlights, not sure if I really belong Though my trouble days may come, I know I gotta go on I´ve gotta live my life in colors, no more living in black and white I´ve gotta learn to live my life, I´ve gotta learn to stand and fight Sister don´t you cry, brother I will be alright Cause I´ve gotta live before I die, but I´ll be coming back home soon
(But I´ll be coming back home soon)
So many years past and I´ve been waiting for so long to see my papa I can´t wait to see his eyes So many years past and I´ve been dreaming for so long to see my mama I can´t wait to see her smile Because I´ve lived before I die and I come back home to you
