I'm alive - and the world shines for me today I'm alive - suddenly I am here today Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way) Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today) But what can I say? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive (Instrumental break) Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly I was born (into light) How can it be real? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive - and the world shines for me today I'm alive - suddenly I am here today Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way) Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive (Instrumental break) I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
