Still Alive and Breathing
You wonder why young couples kiss
Why some families fight, that's just the way it is
And was forever thus
Raise a glass, let's have another shot
To celebrate what we've got
Here's to you and me and especially to us
Still alive and breathing, can't deny the feeling
Bang the drums for the blessed ones
Who take the time to find the time
To find the rhyme and reason
Yes, give a cheer, 'cos we're still here
We're still alive, we're still alive and breathing
She says it's more than dreaming
When the time's long overdue
She said her beliefs and believing
In her god always pulls her through
All the punches he manages to duck
That keep him in the fight
And the hunches and those bits of luck
That help him play his cards right
It's tight but he's still alive and breathing
And there in the reckoning at the final showdown
She said she's always given more than her fair share
And what goes round always comes round
So she always has karma to spare
Always a sense of parity
And a sparkle in his eyes
Would never reject any charity
Kept his gaze fixed upon the prize
Giving high-fives and he's still alive and breathing
Still alive and breathing, can't deny the feeling
Bang the drums for the blessed ones
Who take the time to find the time
To find the rhyme and reason
Yes, give a cheer, 'cos we're still here
We're still alive, we're still alive and breathing
Why some families fight, that's just the way it is
And was forever thus
Raise a glass, let's have another shot
To celebrate what we've got
Here's to you and me and especially to us
Still alive and breathing, can't deny the feeling
Bang the drums for the blessed ones
Who take the time to find the time
To find the rhyme and reason
Yes, give a cheer, 'cos we're still here
We're still alive, we're still alive and breathing
She says it's more than dreaming
When the time's long overdue
She said her beliefs and believing
In her god always pulls her through
All the punches he manages to duck
That keep him in the fight
And the hunches and those bits of luck
That help him play his cards right
It's tight but he's still alive and breathing
And there in the reckoning at the final showdown
She said she's always given more than her fair share
And what goes round always comes round
So she always has karma to spare
Always a sense of parity
And a sparkle in his eyes
Would never reject any charity
Kept his gaze fixed upon the prize
Giving high-fives and he's still alive and breathing
Still alive and breathing, can't deny the feeling
Bang the drums for the blessed ones
Who take the time to find the time
To find the rhyme and reason
Yes, give a cheer, 'cos we're still here
We're still alive, we're still alive and breathing
