I'm Alive

I see the picture
On the table
What's left to say
The lukewarm coffee
Spilled juice
In your mama's cottage
What a way to start the day

You drew me into
Your frozen silence
Uncertain – and the fear unknown
Do you want me to stay?

I am what I am
I'm still warm inside
You don't understand
And I am what I am
And you're what you are
And I am what I am
And you're what you are

I am a child
In a world of strangers
I'm lo-ve and life
For you to hold
My love is torn
And tattered
You left me there
Without a sound

Love's so hard to find
Such are the gifts of the cold
And the North star found me in time
I'm still alive, alive, alive, alive

Brush the ashes
From the tile
Watch the glow of the ambers
Shadows dancing in the night
You walk down the aile
And the wind was so unkind

But baby, I'm alright
Yes, I will be fine
I can't see your fading skie
Many steps and many miles
You walked away from her ghost
But she followed you behind
Who was bleeding who was hurt
And who reached out to take your hand
You never made it through your mistake

You are what you are
But I'm still alive
I'm still alive, alive
Inside
I am what I am
I'm still warm
Still a woman
Still a child
