Story Behind The Song

My best friend has lived her life beset with many ailments. She suffers from asthma, eczema and is allergic to all dairy products..which means she cant even eat chocolate! (imagine, a life without chocolate) despite it all she has such an unwavering belief that good things will happen to her and she is a firm believer in the goodness in people and seeks that in them first. She inspired me and continueses to inspire me with her eternal optisim and her courage in facing her problems with a postiive attitude.

Song Description

Song that glorifies and celebrates life..seen through the eyes of a friend whose eternal optimism and joy is infectious

Lyrics

Well Im a witness to my own crime
but cant seem to find a handle to this case
I feel compelled to hide my story
but the truth is clearly written on my face

One more shot is all I need there are some who still believe that love is the power supreme
I need a bit of that optimism, cause that belief for me aint nothin but a dream

And when my boots fill up with muddy water
Is there anybody out there

She says it feels, so good to be alive
she says it feels, so good to be alive

Found myself standing at the station waiting for a train that wont arrive
and in a sudden revelation I realise this is something like my life
With all the rain and stormy weather Ive worn it like a feather in my hat
Just like that
I need a change in my perspective dont even need you to tell me that

And when my eyes fill up with salty water
I need a dose of that good vibe laughter
Im standing right outisde her door
she opens it up I know shell make it better

She says it feels, so good to be alive
she says it feels, so good to be alive
she says it feels, so good to be alive

Youre born you live and then you die
So while were here then we must try
To make the most of what weve got
Ive got you
that is quite a lot......
