Before I Die

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Before I die I want to climb the tallest mountain
Smell the sweet scent of a far off sea
Feel the wind blow through my fingers as I stretch out my arms
To fly like a bird, feel weightless and free.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to make it big as a writer
Be one of the best out on the market, beat poe to a tee
Be famous all over the world, most publishes ever
To be in the spotlight for my writing talent is a dream meant to be.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to visit China
Purchase a Chinese lantern to send off a soul
Float it down the waters of a nearby stream
Something I've seen in a movie and made a life's goal.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to find the perfect romance
Something I think I've already accomplished but still have doubt
So far hes given me such a strong deeply felt feeling
Like a spring flower bulb, waiting for the right ray of light to sprout.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to catch a falling star
If not in my arms then in my eyes
A pretty one, like in fairy tales and perfect dreams
A small sample of golden dust from the dark skies.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to call one special person
Relay him a message from my heart
Spout all the things I've meant to say but can't do
Be free of all burdens, grow my wings, get a shiny halo, and a new start.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to grow close to my Father
The one man I should be able to trust through it all
To actually open myself for the first time, let him know his little girl
Dust away the storm clouds from over head, shed my wall.
Before I die.

Before I die I want to be happy
Be the little girl I once was, always a slight smile
A conversationist, laughter every second she was awake
Self confidence glowing bright, strength to last for miles.
Before I die.
