lyrics

In the wake of what’s been going on, stay strong
Hold on, hold on

Yeah! Oh, I recognize everything now
Yeah! Oh, alive for the first time now
There is a fire burning within
This high that I feel is staying

And it feels so good; this sight I’ve acquired
It beckons design, I’m finally alive

One day it occurred to me, loud as a reveille
My life wasn’t waiting for me to come around
Our fleeting time here, we cannot rewind it
We’re born then we’re slowly just dying
Believe when I say that you will mark the day
When what I have just said makes its mark in your head
Your eyes will open wider; your heart will beat faster
You’ll ache in your bones to make an impression
Close to the end before you see those you’ve lost
When you look back upon all the things that you’ve done
Will you ache with regret of the terrible waste?
Or will you accept death with a smile on your face?
And scream with the last breathe in your lungs
“I have lived, I have lived, and now that it’s done I shall rest”

And it feels so good; this light I have viewed
Its glory is full, I’m finally alive

Oh, I recognize everything now
The life that I live; the love that I give
Above and beyond, the attic’s on fire!

And it feels so good; now that I’m awake
Awake and in tune, I’m finally alive

It’s so amazing that it’s real
Part of the experience is to struggle and squirm, and then you learn
Then recklessly you jump and you hope you come out clean

And it feels so good; just to be alive
For the first time, I’m finally alive
