I'm alive
And the world shines for me today
I'm alive
Suddenly I am here today.

Seems like forever

And the dawn breaks across the sky

And the sun rises up so high

Lost in another world

Far away

Never another word
Muses:
Till today
But what can I say?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

I'm alive

I'm alive
