Lyrics
It's Good To Be Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The same man I've been I'll stay
I'll better stay, no matter how long
Until it finally comes, the day
I hear inside the sound of the gong
Then now I'll certainly give away
Oh, give away
My possessions
All my passions
All my songs
And once I got my freedom I'll go
I'll better go no matter how far
And definitely I'll wait till I know
Nowhere else I could get with my car
Then now I'll be stuck again with my show
Oh, with my show
Back here
In Bahia
Or in a star
To be alive is good
Good enough, baby, just to be alive
To sing a song is good
Good enough, baby, just to sing a song
