Chorus:
It's good to be alive… don't close your eyes forever.
No need to read too far into the stormy weather
And even on a cloudy day the ink run from my feather
And if you put up a fight you'll find your days can be so good

Verse 1:
It's good to be alive don't close your eyes, fight to stay awake through the night
Some days it will be pouring rain and you will fight again until the grey clears up in the sky
Follow me follow me follow me look into my eyes…
You never know when you might go so live the fullest life
So follow me wallow in misery from time to lonely time…
But I get through and you will too so see you on the other side

Verse 2:
It's good to be alive, don't close your eyes forever and you and I
Will be leaving a stairway but this is not the day to see the gate way up in the sky
You need to know… you need to try…
Breathe in slow… it is not your time
To flee the sun… and board a flight… not tonight, not tonight
