I’m Alive Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

Well, I′ve been thinkin' and thinkin′
'Til I just don't know what to think anymore
And I′ve been trying to figure it all out
Poundin′ my fist on the floor
But, I'm not givin′ in
To this fear, this pain
These tears in my eyes
Means there's blood in my veins

I′m alive
I wanna taste every tear that falls
I wanna face every fear that calls my name
I'm gonna stand and say
I′m alive
I wanna take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
I want to live
With every heartbeat reminding me
I'm alive


Well, I′ve been holding my breath
With this ache in my chest
For a miracle to come
That takes away all this pain
Lifts me up and away
Let′s me see it all from above
But I know that days comin'
When these tears are all gone
But my brave little heart
Will keep beating strong

I′m alive
I wanna taste every tear that falls
I wanna face every fear that calls my name
I'm gonna stand and say
I′m alive
I wanna take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
I want to live
With every heartbeat reminding me
I′m alive
I'm alive

We all come screamin' into this world
Wonderin′ if we′re gonna survive
Then we discover the laughter
But it's not too long after
The bright days turn to night
And we carry this longing for it all to be well
′Til it is, let's remember
We′ve got a story to tell


We're alive
So, let′s taste every tear that falls
Stand and face every fear that calls our name
Singin' our song and say
We're alive
We gotta take every breath God gives
Like it′s the precious gift that it is
Come on, let′s live
With every heartbeat reminding us
We are alive
Yeah, we are alive
