I'm Alive

 Now all these naive dreams of mine are dead and gone

Like the light that once had shone

There was no simple way to rise up for the marathon

Where all the kingdoms run

Another day is dawned, another day goes on, another day is gone

And on and on

But in the night I breathe a sigh of golden faerie dust

To light the dead and gone

To light the burnt out sun, cause

Gimme a reason, gimme a reason 

Ooooooh

Gimme a reason

I need a reason, I need a reason to carry on

Season through season

And while it’s great I haven’t died

And in this cold world I survive

All I really want’s to thrive

Cause I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

No passing by of these dreams

They’ll never die

And now this flag is gonna fly

Cause I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

There in a shadow I cast away from my life

When I climb toward that far away light

(oooh, far away light)

There was no simple way to rise above inquisitors

I was a harrowing fight

(oooh give up the fight)

And now that battle’s won, look what the scars have done, look all the time that’s gone

And on and on and on

And while it’s great I haven’t died

And in this cold world I survive

All I really want’s to thrive

Cause I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

No passing by of these dreams

They’ll never die

And now this flag is gonna fly

Cause I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

I’m just a dreamer, stuck in a nightmare, I gotta hone it

To get out of this

I’m a redeemer, up in the stratosphere, I gotta own it

Cause, baby, well, I don’t see heaven …

And while it’s great I haven’t died

And in this cold world I survive

All I really want’s to thrive

Cause I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

No passing by of these dreams

They’ll never die

And now this flag is gonna fly

Cause I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
