My blood is red, I'm perfectly flawed
I'm not immortal, my time is brief
So I want more than I can have

I'm alive, alive
With every breath of life I draw
My words will more than rhyme
As long as I know I'm alive

My views are strong
I know I'm right, I loved yet hated
And though I'm one and they are many
They're out numbered

I'm alive, alive
With every breath of life I draw
My words will more than rhyme
As long as I know I'm alive

My blood is red, my time is brief
I value now and believe that life is calling
And she's screaming my name

I'm alive (yes, I'm one of the living)
Alive (because I know I'm alive)
With every breath of song I've sung
My words will more than rhyme
As long as I know I'm alive
