'I Lived' is the sixth single off OneRepublic's 'Native' (2013) album. The music video is a touching tribute to a 15 years old lad, Bryan Warnecke who lives with Cystic Fibrosis.
It portrays the life that Bryan has gone through since he was small and diagnosed with the hereditary disease. Despite the illness, Bryan is living his life to the fullest- bicycling, skateboarding and playing hockey.The clips also shows footage of his childhood life in between Ryan Teddy's performance on stage as well as Bryan's current life. What I find inspiring is the passion that Bryan has to live on. He, along with his team mates have ridden over 1 200 miles and  raised $300 000 for Cystic Fibrosis research.

"It's just one of those things that really makes you appreciate life. It makes me appreciate where you are, as a person. I want to make the most out of my life and have fun as I possibly can and my biggest fear is not being able to do that." - Bryan Warnecke

Currently, the life expectancy for Cystic Fibrosis patients is 36 years. To learn more about Cystic Fibrosis or make a donation to Cystic Fibrosis research, visit www.CFF.org, Enjoy the music video below and feel free to share your opinions in comment box below. Till then, au revoir!



I Lived lyrics

Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall

Hope when the crowd screams out
It's screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
You give it all you have

And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say

I..... I did it all
I..... I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
Oh, oh

I wish that I could witness
All your joy
And all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

I....I did it all
I....I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh

With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I

I....I did it all
I....I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh

I swear I lived
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh
