ALIVE Lyrics

ALIVE

It took some time to speak the truth

Bout all the troubles that I've been through

I'm standing here and I'm living proof

Oh, you don't know the half that I've been through

And it's good to be alive

Even when it hurts to be alive

Those old days I lived in shame

All the battles that I overcame

Now I know I'm not the one to blame

Some of those monsters were too big to tame

It's good to be alive

Even when it hurts to be alive

It's good to be alive

Now I'm staring at an open sky

Not looking back, no reason why

Who was there, and who had gone

For a lifetime or a moment long

And it's good to be alive

Even when it hurts to be alive

It's good to be alive

All great things come to an end

Don't know how or where or when

A purple sunset and a live fly-by

No need to stop and wonder why

Cause it's good to be alive

Even when it hurts to be alive

It's good to be alive

Even when it hurts to be alive
