Name: I'm Alive
Duration: P00H03M53S
Description: This song is about finding the joy in life again, and that each day is a new beginning if we choose it to be. Let’s face it, we all have our shit times and it helps if we can laugh at our situation and not take ourselves too seriously, but when you’re in it up to your neck, it’s not always easy to see the lighter side of things.

lyrics

I’m Alive
Words and music by Chich

Verse 1:
In the morning, in the morning,
I just wake up see the sky and slowly rise.
When I wake up, when I wake up,
I look around feel so lucky I’m alive.
Now I’m ready to take the world, take each step with
care and love, see the beauty that’s around me all the time.
It’s no wonder that this world, is so filled with hate and hurt,
when we harbour all the love that lays inside.

Chorus:
And I sing and laugh for joy,
Yes I sing and laugh for joy,
I’m alive, I’m alive.

Verse 2:
In the day time, in the day time,
I live it up, feel the love and have a ball.
Yes I’m smiling, yes I’m smiling,
I can’t help but smile and laugh and love it all.
There were times I had enough, thought that life was
only tough, till I learnt to see the beauty of it all.
Now I’m thirsty for each day, good or bad it’s all ok,
I’ll take the day for what it is I’ll have them all.

Chorus:
And I sing and laugh for joy,
Yes I sing and laugh for joy,
I’m alive, I’m alive.

Ourtro
In the morning, in the morning,
I just wake up see the sun with smiling eyes.
