Lyrics
I've peculiar views, I don't read the news
Or watch all those soaps or big brother shows
On the idolised box that they call a TV
Though I go with the flow
I would never lament over destiny perfectly lost
If you gave me more rope I stilll couldn't cope
I'd be off like a deer on that mushroom gear
I don't have a hope of becoming the pope
As a liar and a cheat, doing too much Bob Hope
But one thing I know for sure
CHORUS: I am alive
I can love, I can cry
I can dance, I can jive
I can proudly walk on my own and believe
I am alive
I've read a few books, I get funny looks
When I come out with words that they don't understand
And miss the whole poiny that I'm trying to make
It's not worth the pain and the belly-ache
But one thing I know for sure
CHORUS: I am alive
I can laugh, I can hate
I can walk, I can drive
I can boldly stand on the edge of a cliff
And announce to the world I'm alive
From time to time I've resorted to crime
But I don't give a mind to
Political, stereotypical, hypercritical grey suited kind
But one thing I know for sure
CHORUS: I am alive
I can feel, I can touch
I can see, I can
I can have, I can hold
I can rock and I can roll
I can proudly walk on my own and behold
I am alive
