I woke up today not to sure of my feeling
Lying on my back just staring at the ceiling
The dream I had filled me with fear
I dreamed I was dead and far away from here
But I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive thank the Lord I am

Go out of bed took a walk outside
Everything around me seemed to say it's alright
The bad dream last night had faded away
I'm glad it wasn't real I'm so happy to say
I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive thank the Lord I am

Living for some people isn't easy
Chasing money all the time
Slaving all the day just to get a little pay
Ain't the way to get what you want
Peace of mind is hard to find

I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive thank the Lord I am

I'm happy being here and just to look around
There's so much to be done and much more to be found
Though I don't have much I know I'll get by
Cause hope and love are all I need in this world to survive
I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive thank the Lord I am thank the Lord I am
I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm so glad it's not my turn
