We were born to be, alive
We were born to be, alive
Born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born, born to be alive
Times was on my side when I was runnin'in
down the street it was the By by by
A suitcase and an old guitar and
something new to occupy my Mind mind mind
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born (born to be alive)
People ask me why I never
find a place to stop and settle Down down down
But I never wanted all the things that
people need to find their Lives lives lives
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born
(born to be alive) to be alive, to be alive
It's good to be alive, to be alive, to be alive
It's good to be alive
--- Instrumental
It's good to be alive, to be alive, to be alive
It's good to be alive
Times was on my side when I was runnin'in
down the street it was the By by by
A suitcase and an old guitar and
something new to occupy my Mind mind mind
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born (born to be alive)
(Repat to fade)
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born (born to be alive)
