[Verse 1:]
Just sit and wait, don't move
Just hesitate
You can hope and pray
You can moan
Maybe things will change.
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
You feel your soul
Get hollowed out
While the world implodes
You just live without.
[Verse 2:]
She walks, she runs
She fights almost as one
And finds her voice
She’ll march
She has no choice.
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
She's crushed by thoughts
At night of men
Who want her rights
And usually win.
[Chorus:]
But she's alive
Oh, she’s alive
She's alive
Oh, she's alive.
[Verse 3:]
He screams, he shouts
The heads on the TV bow
They take the bait
They mirror waves of hate.
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
They break down walls
To free their sins
And then their hearts
Come caving in.
[Verse 4:]
Oh, I watch, I think
I dance
And sometimes I drink
I sing my songs
I'll hope someone sings along.
[Pre-Chorus 4:]
If I should break
My silent streak
Will knives come out
To cut my cheeks?
[Chorus:]
Oh, I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive
But I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
I’m alive
Oh, I’m alive
Yes, I'm alive
Yes, I’m alive.
[Outro:]
I care a lot
I know the things I'm not
It's alright, it's okay
And it’s not, maybe things will change.
