Come alive
music and lyrics J.Flinter ©2003

verse 1
I thought I'd read all the books
I thought I'd read all the signs
I thought I knew about everything,
now I see I was blind.
I thought I was invincible
that's what you feel when you're young
Soldier on through thick 'n' thin
'cause that's how it was done.
verse 2
You won't even hit the ceiling
if you don't shoot for the moon.
You won't hear the sound of sweet music
if you dance to someone else's tune.
bridge
Be yourself. It took half my life to convince me.
Be yourself. That the second half was a better place to be.
chorus
I've come alive.
I see the past was decided and sometimes misguided
by the many words of the wise.
I've come alive.
I'm at peace with the bread which side my butter's been spread,
I know how many beans make five.
It's not clear what we're doing here
the reason has passed me by.
I'm not sure what it is but I'm about to find out why.
Now I've come alive.
break
chorus
Now I've come alive, now I've come alive,
ooh ooh I'm alive, at last I'm alive.
