Well, I've been thinkin' and thinkin' 'Til I just don't know what to think anymore And I've been trying to figure it all out Poundin' my fist on the floor But, I'm not givin' in To this fear, this pain These tears in my eyes Means there's blood in my veins I'm alive I wanna taste every tear that falls I wanna face every fear that calls my name I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive I wanna take every breath God gives Like it's the precious gift that it is I want to live With every heartbeat reminding me I'm alive Well, I've been holding my breath With this ache in my chest For a miracle to come That takes away all this pain Lifts me up and away Let's me see it all from above But I know that days comin' When these tears are all gone But my brave little heart Will keep beating strong I'm alive I wanna taste every tear that falls I wanna face every fear that calls my name I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive I wanna take every breath God gives Like it's the precious gift that it is I want to live With every heartbeat reminding me I'm alive I'm alive We all come screamin' into this world Wonderin' if we're gonna survive Then we discover the laughter But it's not too long after The bright days turn to night And we carry this longing for it all to be well 'Til it is, let's remember We've got a story to tell We're alive So, let's taste every tear that falls Stand and face every fear that calls our name Singin' our song and say We're alive We gotta take every breath God gives Like it's the precious gift that it is Come on, let's live With every heartbeat reminding us We are alive Yeah, we are alive
