It's an honor and a privilege When I can say I am alive Beyond the breathing, beyond the waking I am alive And when I shut down to shield my heart cause I've been hurt too many times And I don't want go through another heart break still I know I am alive It's the pain, it's the gurt It's the love, disappointment I know I'm alive When I feel like I'm slowly fading And I can't find the strength or will to live another day fight for anyone or anything And I know I'm am alive And when I finally reach out my hand In quiet desperation because I want to live, I want to fight, I want to be Then I know I am alive It's the pain, it's the hurt It's the love, disappointment I know I am alive Oh, oh, oh, oh I know I'm alive, And even though sometimes I just want to run and hide, I know I am alive I'm alive, alive Oh, I know I am alive
