Taylor James - Before I Die Alone Lyrics

Father, when I was young
You taught me to run with my dreams and spread my wings
But as I grew old time just slipped away
I never took flight, and I yearn for a change
So here I am to say

Before I die alone
I want to raise a son
Into an honest man
Unlike his father could be
Before I die alone
I want to teach my daughter love
To embrace her mind, body, and soul

Mama, I want to do my best
But every step I take is another strike against
How do I get there?

Before I die alone
I want to make my father proud
Of the man he raised me to be
Before I die alone
I want to see my mother smile
As I reach new heights I never dreamed before

How long do I have before I go?
Is there a way to break free of this cage?
I want to be set free
I want to be set free
Before I die alone
I will soar amongst the stars
Before I die alone
I will be complete
