Sometimes I feel like I can't move on 
nothing in life is turning me on 
but I still see clearly, when I see you smiling 

you know nothing seems to fit 
I couldn't see my way through this shit 
when every single second of my waking day 

was thinking of you 
thinking of you 
you never know 

that I am alive 
I am alive 
I want to grow 

there are so many things I can do 
just like falling in love with you 

so take my hand now understand now 
you can come here too 

c'mon people we're making it now 
yeah yeah yeah 

c'mon people we're making it now 
yeah yeah yeah 

but today I worked it out 
I got something I can shout about 
someone who believes in all the things I'm thinking 

but where have you gone 
where have you gone 
I'll never know 

that I am alive 
I am alive 
I want to grow 

there are so many things I can do 
just like falling in love with you 

so take my hand now understand now 
you can come here too 

c'mon people we're making it now 
if only you could be with us
