I'm Alive (Live from Home, 6/12/2020)

Just sit and wait, don't move
Just hesitate
You can hope and pray
You can moan
Maybe things will change

You feel your soul
Get hollowed out
While the world implodes
You just live without

She walks, she runs
She fights almost as one and finds her voice
She'll march
She has no choice

She's crushed by thoughts at night of men
Who want her rights and usually win

But she's alive
Oh, she's alive
She's alive
Yes, she's alive

He screams, he shouts
The heads on the TV bow
They take the bait
They mirror waves of hate

They break down walls to free their sins
And then their hearts come caving in

Oh, I watch, I think
I dance and sometimes I drink
I sing my songs
I'll hope someone sings along

If I should break my silent streak
Will knives come out to cut my cheek?

Oh, I'm alive
Ooh, I'm alive
I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive
I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive
Ooh, I'm alive

I care a lot
I know the things I'm not
It's alright, it's okay
And it's not, maybe things will change
