I Need To Be Me

© 2019 Shawn Gilley, Sheri Gilley 

Verse 1
​I wake up in a hospital bed
With a hammer pounding in my head
Fighting through every breath I take
But I’m surrounded by a sea of love
I’m back to the man that I once was
My hands can play the music I want to make

Channel
So  I can’t go back to living in a time where I am barely me

Chorus
I hate to close my eyes at night
Knowing there’s a chance that I might
Never have a day like this again
I need to be me until the end 

Verse 2
Even though I can’t take a step
I go the chance to see the sunset
Sink into the ocean’s slaty sea
And I have written so many songs
I’ve played for people hours long
I’ve lived lots of my leftover dreams
Channel
So I can’t go back to living in a time where I am barely me

Bridge
I’ve got an imperfect full of love
Complicated yet beautiful
Painful yet purposeful life
I love it all , and that’s why
