Alice Ripley feat. Aaron Tveit, J. Robert Spencer, Louis Hobson, Jennifer Damiano & Adam Chanler-Berat - Next To Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

I'm Alive

I am what you want me to be
And I'm your worst fear
You'll find it in me
Come closer
Come closer

I am more than memory
I am what might be
I am mystery
You know me
So show me

When I appear
It's not so clear
If I'm a simple spirit
Or I'm flesh and blood

But I'm alive
I'm alive
I am so alive
And I feed on the fear
That's behind your eyes

And I need you
To need me
It's no surprise
I'm alive
So alive
I'm alive

I am flame and I am fire
I am destruction
Decay and desire
I'll hurt you
I'll heal you

I'm your wish
Your dream come true
And I am your darkest nightmare too
I've shown you
I own you

And though you made me
You can't change me
I'm the perfect stranger
Who knows you too well

And I'm alive
I'm alive
I am so alive
And I'll tell you the truth
If you let me try

You're alive
I'm alive
And I'll show why
I'm alive
So alive

I'm alive
I'm right behind you
You say forget
But I remind you
You can try to hide
You know that I will find you
'Cause if you won't grieve me
You won't leave me behind

Ah, ah, ah
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
No, no, no
I'm alive
I'm alive
I am so alive
If you climb on my back
Then we both can fly

If you try to deny me
I'll never die
I'm alive
So alive
I'm alive
Yeah, yeah
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
