I've built some dreams

I've held them close

Celebrated perfect days

I lost the one I loved the most

Now she's 6 feet of earth away

I've cried til I thought I couldn't stop

And I've laughed until it hurt

And I've prayed in an empty parking lot

And my friends were my church

Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly

Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife

There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace

I've seen it from both sides

This is what it means to be alive, alive

This is what it means to be alive

I've seen the face of have to have

Of a child without a home

A casualty of circumstance

Written off and all alone

I've cried for the wars that they've been through

And I've walked by their side

I've watched what the power of love can do

And how it changes lives

Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly

Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife

There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace

I've seen it from both sides

This is what it means to be alive, alive

This is what it means to be alive

This is what it means, this is what it means,

This is what it means to be alive, alive.

This is what it means, yeah

Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly

Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife

There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace

I've seen it from both sides

This is what it means to be alive
