Until I've Lived My Life - Lucy Spraggan[00:00:00]
He's a father a man he's my husband[00:00:05]
With stories he tells[00:00:08]
Of things that he lived through[00:00:12]
And things that he watched die as well[00:00:14]
He said I've fought wars and I've had my day[00:00:18]
I was forced to be strong[00:00:21]
I was taught to be brave and I was[00:00:23]
I saw things that weren't meant to be seen[00:00:28]
I would have lost it all for my country and queen[00:00:31]
But I'm here[00:00:34]
I took the hand of a mixed race girl[00:00:38]
And she showed me to love yeah she showed me the world[00:00:41]
Now I'm dying[00:00:44]
No I can't die[00:00:50]
No I can't die[00:00:55]
Until I've lived my life[00:00:59]
She's a mother a woman a grandma with secrets she kept[00:01:06]
And some of those secrets were the only thing she had left[00:01:13]
She said I saw women in magazines[00:01:19]
I could have known who I could have been yeah that's right[00:01:23]
Cast my hands in those concrete slabs[00:01:29]
I just wanted to sing I just wanted to dance every night[00:01:32]
And I had visions and I had dreams[00:01:39]
But they weren't the same as my husband and children I know[00:01:41]
And I made choices that weren't alright[00:01:48]
And I lived my life being someone's wife don't I know[00:01:51]
No I can't die[00:02:01]
No I can't die[00:02:05]
I hope there are smiles in the crowd[00:02:11]
When I'm lowered into the ground[00:02:15]
And the earth takes me back[00:02:18]
And they'll say I did all I can[00:02:22]
And I'll sleep with no dreams in my mind[00:02:25]
Cause my dreams were so very alive[00:02:28]
But this time[00:02:31]
No I can't die[00:02:33]
Until I've lived my life[00:02:36]
No I can't die[00:02:44]
No I can't die[00:02:49]
Until I've lived my life[00:02:54]
