Blessed to Be Alive

I woke up one morning and the sun was gone The air was filled with ash and there were dead birds on the lawn No trace of you, baby, or a single friend No sound from the radio or car engines on the wind So I walked 3 miles to work and I sat down at my desk Passed the day in silence, then I walked back home to rest That's what I do each morning once I'm dressed It's lonely sometimes, but I know I'm blessed To be alive I got up one evening and the moon was blood The water started rising, and the house began to flood So I grabbed a book of matches and my warmest coat Paced around the cul-de-sac and saw my neighbor's boat Now I float around this town every day in total dark Pass the time by counting all the treetops in the park Just like Noah and his ark Though I may never disembark I'm alive I woke up this morning and the stars had fell It looked like Independence Day but felt just like hell I had no one beside me for the fireworks I pretended you were with me, but that only made it worse Now the sky is falling, and it's such a sight to see I hope you're out there somewhere thinking of me Our short time was almost heavenly It's lonely but I know I'm blessed to be Alive
