It's a long road, oh Everyday I wake up and turn my phone on I read the news of the day, just as it's coming down I do my best not to let it get me down I try to keep my head up, but is Babylon This world's in crisis, we try to fight it, this changing climate With scientists and politicians divided by it So many ways we could solve it but they would never sign it This mountains tumbling down, but still we try to climb it It's in the Torah, Quran and in the Bible Love is the message for some how we turn to rivals It's come to people always picking up their rifles Another school getting shot up homicidal Some people tryna look fly, some people tryna get high Some people losing their mind, some people tryna get by And when you look in my eyes, you see the sign of the times We all looking for the same thing But what if this song's number one Would it mean that love had won? Would it mean that the world was saved? And no guns are being drawn today? What if everybody had a job? And nobody had to break a law? What if everyone could say That it's good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) No matter what nobody say People used to feel safer when they would hear a siren Like help is on its way but now they only think of violence Another youth in the streets and police is in a conflict And now they hear the guns click, yo Ebola crisis and ISIS is taking heads off A drone is bombing a village and now the kids all Signing up to be soldiers, but they all willing now To do the killing now, now are you willing now? Some politicians out there making up some problems And tryna tell the people that they can solve them With TV shows and soundbites and quotes But everybody knows that it's all about the cash flow They telling you and me, they're making progress But tell it to the millions of jobless It's like a players club with billions of dollars To get the votes you got to make it rain in congress Some people tryna look fly, some people tryna get high Some people losing their mind, some people tryna get by And when you look in my eyes, you see the sign of the times We all looking for the same thing But what if this song's number one Would it mean that love had won? Would it mean that the world was saved? And no guns are being drawn today? What if everybody had a job? And nobody had to break a law? What if everyone could say That it's good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh) And we all say One day, one day One day, one day One day, we all will say That it's good to be alive today One day, one day One day, one day One day, we all will say That it's good to be alive today
