To Be Alive Lyrics

It is hard for me to find meaning

When everything I do

Will one day just be ashes and dust

I think that became apparent When I understood

That god was a mortal construct

When there is silence

I think that I am just a man

Whose time is finite

And someday will end

It pulled me down to think

That my only purpose in life

Was to end up

Where I began

I won't take it

No, but i'll give it

Sometimes I love it

But, I'll never hate it

I won't make it

No, I can't break it

But when I say it

Oh, you'll know I mean it

Too many questions

But no answers

It makes you anxious

You don't understand it

A new perspective

A new horizon

It can make sense

You just have to let it

As the sky falls down

And no one can save us

We find meaning in our lives

Nothing is forever

This is what it is

To be alive

It just isn't fair

What point is there in suffering

Through loss after loss

Defeat after defeat

At what point

Does the light shine on me

To say that I am worthy

Of more than pain

We find beauty

In sorrow

We find hope

In tomorrow

We find passion

As we suffer

And pull courage

From one another

I will die right here by your side

As we see the dwindling of the light

One last breath as silence sets in

It was worth it my friend

As the sky falls down

And no one can save us

We find meaning in our lives

Nothing is forever

This is what it is

To be alive

I'll never let you go

I'll never leave you on your own

I'll always live inside your mind

Because that's the only thing

We leave behind

The memories

And those who have been touched by our light

Fading from the world

Ebbing away in time

But that is what it means

To be alive
