I'm Alive I'm alive (I'm not sleeping) I wanna live (I'm not holding out)
I say no (No more waiting) For once in my life (No holding out)
If I were a thief I'd steal some time I'd sneak into a space and call it mine Somewhere away from this consuming place I'll slip into the night
I tried to make it out of here before But I kept slipping back for just one more Now I can see a light, there's no mistake I'm running for the door
I'm alive (I'm not sleeping) I wanna live it right (No holding out)
I say no (No more waiting) And this is the way That it's gonna be
It's a lucky man who's got what I got But I won't wait to be put in that slot I've got too much at stake, gonna make that break I'm gonna take that shot Oh, oh, I'm gonna take that shot
I'm, I'm alive (I'm not sleeping) I wanna live it right (No holding out)
I say no (No more waiting) And this is the way That it's gonna be
I'm alive
(I'm not dying) I wanna live (I'm not dying) No, oh, oh
If I were a soldier I'd shoot away the hours Blast my way from this poison of ours Run my own race at my own speed That's how it's gonna be, it's the way it's gonna be
I'm alive (I'm not sleeping) I wanna live it right (No holding out)
I say no (No more waiting) And this is the way That it's gonna be In my life
I'm not sleeping I'm not holding out No more waiting I am alive, I am alive
I'm alive (I'm not sleeping) I wanna live it right (No holding out)
I tell you, no (No more waiting) And this is the way That I'm gonna stay
I'm alive (I'm not sleeping) I wanna live (I'm not holding out)
I say no (I'm not dying) It's my life And I'm gonna live it each day
