I'm Alive

When i was locked inside my head

When i was lost in a maze of doubt

You called my name and woke me up

You called my name and led me out

And when i chased one more mirage

'til i was tired and parched again

You gave me one more cup to fill

And sent me one more desert rain

I'm alive

I'm on fire

And my spirit burns with desire

You set me alight

Bright-eyed

And with no way to hold it inside

I wanted to thank you

Thank you, thank you

I was so sure of all i knew

I knew the world was mine to claim

I had directions printed out

And then i hit a wall of shame

Out there, alone, and left to die

Cut off from you, my sole supply

You shed your tears for me, and then

You took my hand and raised me high
