I'm Alive

I shiver when I remember The things that I have seen I know the light, I know the Night I have walked with things unseen I have been a king invincible I've been the poorest of the poor I've pulled the mighty from their thrones And laughed at Death's own door 'Cause I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive I roamed the world in search of life Death followed in my wake I searched for truth, I want the truth And learned more than I could take I've walked the roads of mystery And it's aged me much too soon I've paied the piper and I've paied him well But he still calls the tune I'm alive [4x] I shiver when I remember The shadow of the past The lonely ways, the lonely days When every breath might be my last I lost my heart, I lost my soul By every hand betrayed But I've still got strength, I've still got life And that will never change 'Cause I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive [5x]
