I Woke Up Alive

I woke up alive so here we go again
I woke up alive so here we go again

I woke up alive sat up in my bed put my feet on the floor and I scratched my head
What will I do today I wondered to myself didn't really think about my state of health
You see I woke up alive but I didn't realize what a precious gift that I was blessed with
So I live without thinkin' if there will be tomorrow get it while I can ain't got time for pain or sorrow
I like to take it easy I like to keep it free I'm taking in the twenty-first century
I see the world around me and lots of things are wrong
I don't like to think about it for too long
I would like to save the world in a natural way
But me and no one else can seem to find a way
We could sit and wonder what is it all about or we could go and party 'till we all pass out
Slumber

I woke up alive so here we go again
I woke up alive so here we go again
I woke up alive so here we go again
I woke up alive so here we go again

I woke up alive a little smarter today beginning to see maybe a better way
But you know the injustice fills my soul with rage
No matter where you look people in a cage
When you're choking on hate it's not an easy thing
To remember brother Gandhi and Doctor King
To change a person's heart cannot be done by force
To kill hate takes love and we are the source
Maybe I can make a difference just wait and see
I start to notice some are lookin' up to me
I see the time is passing ease my foot up from the gassing
Try to leave a place for the future human race
Only one thing I can do you can come and try it too
Don't get mad and resign if it takes a little time
A journey to respect starts with a first step
A gradual removement continual improvement

Make today better than yesterday
Make today better than yesterday
Make today better than yesterday
Make today better than yesterday
We all can do it if we all get to it
if we all give a bit then we all benefit
It's really very simple take it one day at a time
Then before you know it a new habit you will find
Listen what he say there can be a better way just make today better than yesterday
Make today better than yesterday
Make today better than yesterday

I woke up alive so here we go again
I woke up alive so here we go again

I woke up alive a little smarter than before thinkin' more about stepping through the next door
Here we go again another day I've seen another day of going through the same routine
I hear the clock a ticking it doesn't go away I try to feel some gratitude for each and every day
But while I have some time I will not waste the dime feeling like I could still do some good
I want to change the world in a natural way the more I think about it seems there could be a way
We are children of the earth in that we're all the same if our 'sphere gets killed it's only us to blame
We have to work together there's no other way to do it we will live or die together only time will prove it
Another thing I learned life can vanish in a second it also goes by fast quicker than you ever reckoned
Brothers sisters mamas and dads none of us knows how much longer we have
So love all those around you, every single one you never know a moment could be the last one
Life is short and sweet I came to realize the end can come anytime as a surprise
It could happen any moment
