I'm Alive Songtext

von Iain Matthews

I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU EXPECT TO HEAR OUT OF ME ANY MORE
AND I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT i'VE BEEN STRUGGLING TOWARDS
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND TAHT DOGGED PERSISTANCE
IT KEEPS BACKING OFF LIKE THUNDER IN THE DISTANCE
BUT I'M ALIVE, I'M ALIVE, I'M ALIVE, I'M ALIVE OUT HERE
BROTHER I'M ALIVE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU EXPECT TO KNOCK ME OFF THIS MISERY GO-ROUND
BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BOY
I DIDN'T COME THIS FAR TO LET GO NOW
IT'S STILL SHOOTING OUT IN WATERFALLS AND FOUNTAINS
IT'S FLOWING SO HARD I'VE QUIT COUNTING
AND I'M ALIVE....

OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE
I SEE YOU COILED LIKE A SNAKE IN THE GRASS
PATIENTLY WAITING
WEAVING AND SWAYING
WEAVING AND SWAYING

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT MY COMMITMENT'S ABOUT
I'M A LITTLE SHY OF SURFS UP
BUT DEEPER THAN TWIST AND SHOUT
I'VE BEEN STEPPED ON AND MANHANDLED
I'VE BEEN BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
I COULD LAY MYSELF WIDE OPEN AND YOU'D JUST AVERT YOUR EYES
I'M AN UNEXPLODED LANDMINE
I'M A STICK OF DYNAMITE
I'M ALIVE
OHHH, BROTHER I'M ALIVE
I'M ALIVE
OHHH TRUST ME, I'M ALIVE
