Alive
by Joseph

(verse)
You're not a child anymore
And play hide and seek
You don't dream anymore
Since dreams made you weak

You can lie and smile
And forgive yourself
You can love for a while (As long as)
You won't hurt yourself

(pre-chorus)
But you know my friend, this is the lazy way
Just look inside of you, you can find another way

(verse)
Don't be distracted
Of what others say
Don't fall, be tempted
By the easy way

A lie can save your day (But it won't)
Save your life
I know it's not easy
This can hurt like a knife

(pre-chorus)
I promise, the wounds will heal
This promise, will make you feel

(chorus)
Alive, and be not blind
Alive, to see the signs
Alive, and speak your mind
Alive, to cross the line

(bridge)
I promise, the wounds will heal
This promise, will make you feel

(chorus)
Alive, and be not blind
Alive, to see the signs
Alive, and speak your mind
Alive, to cross the line
Alive...
Alive...
