I woke up today not to sure of my feeling Lying on my back just staring at the ceiling The dream I had filled me with fear I dreamed I was dead and far away from here But I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive thank the Lord I am
Go out of bed took a walk outside Everything around me seemed to say it's alright The bad dream last night had faded away I'm glad it wasn't real I'm so happy to say I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive thank the Lord I am
Living for some people isn't easy Chasing money all the time Slaving all the day just to get a little pay Ain't the way to get what you want Peace of mind is hard to find
I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive thank the Lord I am
I'm happy being here and just to look around There's so much to be done and much more to be found Though I don't have much I know I'll get by Cause hope and love are all I need in this world to survive I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive thank the Lord I am thank the Lord I am I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm so glad it's not my turn
