Alive

Alive

When the sun shines on the river
Like a lifeline to my heart
I wonder if I'll ever feel more of a part
Of all the things that matter
Of all that will survive
To rise above the clatter

That's when I know that I'm alive
That's when I know that I'm alive

At that rare electric second
When our gazes lock in place
And my eyes search in wonder
For the stories on your face
And the sudden fall to silence
Makes it hard for us to breathe
As our minds race across
The tapestries they weave

Should I lean toward you?
Should you lean to me?
As we both may wonder
What this all might mean?

That's when I know
That's when I know that I'm alive
That's when I know that I'm alive
Alive

When a song breaks out of hiding
And it takes me by surprise
And the parts all come together
Right before my eyes
And as we work to know it
Growing line by line
Like some autumn vintage
That's bursting on the vine

When the audience goes quiet
And I feel myself breathe in
In that pulsing moment
Right when we begin

That's when I know
That's when I know that I'm alive
That's when I know that I'm alive
Alive
