It's alright to cry
Even my dad does sometimes
So don't wipe your eyes
Tears remind you you're alive
It's alright to die
'Cause death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for tonight, hold on
So live life like you're giving up
'Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tear me apart
It's alright to shake
Even my hand does sometimes
So inside, we'll rage
Against the dying of the light
It's alright to say that death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for today, hold on
So live life like you're giving all
'Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tear me apart, and hold on
Live life like you're giving all
'Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tear me apart, and hold on
Even my dad does sometimes
So don't wipe your eyes
Tears remind you you're alive
It's alright to die
'Cause death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for tonight, hold on
So live life like you're giving up
'Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tear me apart
It's alright to shake
Even my hand does sometimes
So inside, we'll rage
Against the dying of the light
It's alright to say that death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for today, hold on
So live life like you're giving all
'Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tear me apart, and hold on
Live life like you're giving all
'Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tear me apart, and hold on

Wow only one comment on this beautiful song. I think Mochemon has the meaning down well. I just had state wow - for Ed this is a throwaway song to be included in the bonus tracks section on the record. This song is F ing brilliant and shouldn't be overlooked. Many artists would write this and build an album around it. Ed simply includes it as a bonus.
