Lyrics

Here I Am 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.

If I could write to the kid I was before,

I'd tell him you'll get everything you ever wanted

But you will still want more.

Someone's going to tell you

Who you should want to be

So you'll forget the vision that they didn't want to see,

And when they give up, 'cause they will give up, say:

Here I am alive.

Chorus:

They say you don't grow up

You just grow old,

It's safe to say I haven't done both,

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive.

So many people close to me cut me down,

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.

But here I am alive.

If I could write to myself

When I was on top of it all,

I'd say you're going overboard

and when you're falling

You're going to feel so small,

Someone's going to tell you that you deserve the worst,

They'll say you're never coming back

And tell you that you're cursed.

But then they give up, 'cause they always give up, say:

Here I am alive.

Chorus:

They say you don't grow up

You just grow old,

It's safe to say I haven't done both,

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive.

So many people close to me cut me down,

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.

But here I am alive.

(Alive alive alive alive alive)

And when they give up, cause they will give up

Say: Here I am alive!!

And when they give up, cause they always give up

Say: Here I am alive!!

Chorus:

They say you don't grow up

You just grow old,

It's safe to say I haven't done both,

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive.

So many people close to me cut me down,

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.

But here I am alive.

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

Here I am alive!!

If I could write to the kid I was before.
