Waiting  on  Ben

Just to be Alive

It's only temporary how you're feeling
Feeling like you're standing all alone
Begging on the contrary, freewheeling
Then you're gone

Listen to ideas about the future
Reminisce, and don't forget the memories
Hold the tears that are coming for tomorrow
For tomorrow belongs to you and me

Why do the stars shine so brightly in the sky?
They were meant for us to see
Tonight, let your inhibitions down
Breathe in the world around you and be free

Leave your fears and worries on the doorstep
Strengths and weaknesses no longer mean a thing
Never abandon the focus of your mindset
Let your spirit go and your soul take wing

Why do the stars shine so brightly in the sky?
They were meant for us to see
Tonight, let your inhibitions down
Breathe in the love around you and be free
'Cause it's times like this when I'm glad
Just to be alive

Oppression may suprise you in your pathway
You glance outside to see the storm that passed you by
Emotions may come slower in your old age
But the song of your life will never die

Why do the stars shine so brightly in the sky?
They were meant for us to see
Tonight, let your inhibitions down
Breathe in the world around you and be free
'Cause it's times like this when you should be glad
Just to be alive

To be alive
To be alive
Alive
Alive
Alive

Why do the stars shine so brightly in the sky?
They were meant for us to see
Tonight, let your inhibitions down
Breathe in the love around you and be free
'Cause it's times like this when I'm glad just to be
It's times like this when you should be glad that you feel
It's times like this when we're glad
Just to be alive

And it's times like this when we're glad just to be
Just to be alive
