ALIVE Video (MV)

ALIVE
It took some time to speak the truth
Bout all the troubles that I've been through
I'm standing here and I'm living proof
Oh, you don't know the half that I've been through

And it's good to be alive
Even when it hurts to be alive

Those old days I lived in shame
All the battles that I overcame
Now I know I'm not the one to blame
Some of those monsters were too big to tame

It's good to be alive
Even when it hurts to be alive
It's good to be alive

Now I'm staring at an open sky
Not looking back, no reason why
Who was there, and who had gone
For a lifetime or a moment long

And it's good to be alive
Even when it hurts to be alive
It's good to be alive

All great things come to an end
Don't know how or where or when
A purple sunset and a live fly-by
No need to stop and wonder why

Cause it's good to be alive
Even when it hurts to be alive
It's good to be alive
Even when it hurts to be alive
