How strange when you know the feeling that something ain’t right
You’re fooled by the need of being, you’re blind to the light
Don’t ask where the stranger leads you, he’ll show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest, you’ve something to say
I’m alive, I’m alive and I’m me
I’ve just got to be free, I’m alive to the world

There’s been so much bad time wasted, just look and you’ll see
We’ve got so much going for us, it’s not just a dream
Let’s look and we’ll find the answers, to questions I’ve made
We’ll reach out for new beginnings, let love show the way
I’m alive, I’m alive and I’m me
I’ve just got to be free, I’m alive to the world

Let’s leave our past behind
A little hurt can make us blind
And we’ll just smile and say
We’ve found a better way ‘Cause now we know that we’re alive
I’m alive, I’m alive and I’m me
I’ve just got to be free, I’m alive to the world
