It's Good to Be Alive

See that herd of birds riding through the blue

Can't you hear their words calling out to you?

Life is short they sing, still we rush and strive

For we know one thing, it's good to be alive

Cactus on the plain, wrestle with the dust

Betting for the rain just because they must

Still somehow they grow, still somehow they thrive

Could it be they know it's good to be alive?

I'm saying life is all sunshine and roses

Sometimes it's hard to live

But you must admit it's a bit more appealing

Than the alternative

Hear the coyotes bay in the desert night

Shadowing their prey, lusting for a fight

Brawling tooth and claw, that's how they survive

They know but one law, it's good to be alive

It's good to be alive
