Life On the Line
Rebelution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up this morning with my life on the line
Open my eyes and with a deepness I sigh.
I dreamt my baby up and left me behind
But there she is beside me asleep lookin fine.
I took a walk out on the streets in the night
With her in mind its the finest of times.
I'll give her lovin' till the day that I die
As long as she knows it and I know she's mine.
Thank god I got you by my side




I woke up empty now a new feelin' the resides. Oh I, oh I.

Open my eyes and with a deepness I sigh
I dreamed my baby up and left me behind
But there she is beside me asleep lookin' fine
