Being Alive Lyrics
RACHAEL LAMPA/PETE ORTA/TOMMY SIMS
I DON'T WANNA WAKE UP IN A CROWDED ROOM
NO ROOM TO MOVE
CLOWNS TO THE LEFT OF ME
JOKERS SNIFFING HELIUM FROM BALLOONS
CUZ THEY GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO
YOU KNOW THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU CAN'T HEAR ABOVE THE NOISE
AND ALL YOUR DOUBTS DEPLOYED
ITS GETTING LATE AND YOU'RE GETTING BORED
WITH THE STATUS YOU CLING TO
CH:
BEING ALIVE IS BREATHING IN AND BREATHING OUT OH
BEING ALIVE IS KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE GONNA LIVE FOR
IT'S WAKING UP ANOTHER MORNING IN THE ARMS OF
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
CH2:
SO SAY YOU WILL, DON'T SAY YOU WON'T GIVE IN WHEN LOVE COMES AND WHEN IT DOES YOU'RE ASKING WHERE WILL IT COME FROM YOU WILL LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO LEARN, LONG AS YOU HAVE SOME LOVE LOVE LOVE.......
DO YOU EVER WAKE UP AND FIND THAT YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE THAT'S STANDING STILL
JUST PART OF THE DRILL- NO BIG DEAL
TODAY IS JUST ANOTHER THING TO GET THROUGH
AND AS THE DAY GOES PASSING BY
I RUN DOWN THE LIST OF ALL THE THINGS I MEANT TO TRY
I MEANT TO FLY
I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND
SYNOPSIS
This song came from conversations I have had with people in my life that are very close to me. I've found that most people, some more than others, have days where they feel like they are barely surviving through the day and barely getting by. When I think of being alive, I see more than just having a heart beat and skin and bones but more as seeing life for all that God has made it to be. All the cliches about living life to the fullest and making the most of every day had to mean something at one point, why not go back to that pure thought every once in a while? If we love our lives, the people around us, and our God, I believe that encompasses living, because all of those things are worth living for.
