I'm Alive
by Steven Curtis Chapman

Album: Still

Verse 1
Well, I've been thinkin' and thinkin' 'til I just don't know
What to think anymore
And I've been tryin' to figure it all out
Poundin' my fist on the floor

Pre-Chorus
But I'm not givin' in to this fear or this pain
These tears in my eyes means there's blood in my veins

Chorus
I'm alive
I wanna taste every tear that falls
I wanna face every fear that calls my name
I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive
I wanna take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
I wanna live with every heartbeat remindin' me
I'm alive

Verse 2
Well, I've been holdin' my breath with this ache in my chest
For a miracle to come
That takes away all this pain, lifts me up and away
Lets me see it all from above

Pre-Chorus
But I know that day's comin' when the tears are all gone
But my brave old heart will keep beatin' strong

Chorus
I'm alive
I wanna taste every tear that falls
I wanna face every fear that calls my name
I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive
I wanna take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
I wanna live with every heartbeat remindin' me
I'm alive

Post-Chorus
I'm alive

Bridge
We all come screamin' in to this world wonderin'
If we're gonna survive
Then we discover the laughter, but it's not too long after
That bright days turn to night
And we carry this longing for it all to be well
'Til it is, let's remember, we've got a story to tell

Chorus
We're alive
So let's taste every tear that falls
Stand and face every fear that calls our name
Sing our song and say we're alive
We gotta take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
Come on, let's live with every heartbeat remindin' us
We are alive

Post-Chorus
Yeah, we are alive
