Steven Curtis Chapman I'm Alive
[Verse 1]
Well, I've been thinkin' and thinkin' til I just don't know
What to think anymore
And I've been tryin' to figure it all out
Poundin' my fist on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm not givin' in to this fear or this pain
These tears in my eyes means there's blood in my veins
[Chorus]
I'm alive
I wanna taste every tear that falls
I wanna face every fear that calls my name
I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive
I wanna take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
I wanna live with every heartbeat remindin' me
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
Well, I've been holdin' my breath with this ache in my chest
For a miracle to come
That takes away all this pain, lifts me up and away
Lets me see it all from above
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know that day's comin' when these tears are all gone
But my brave old heart will keep beatin' strong
[Chorus]
I'm alive
I wanna taste every tear that falls
I wanna face every fear that calls my name
I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive
I wanna take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
I wanna live with every heartbeat remindin' me
I'm alive
[Post-Chorus]
I'm alive
[Bridge]
We all come screamin' in to this world wonderin'
If we're gonna survive
Then we discover the laughter, but it's not too long after
That bright days turn to night
And we carry this longing for it all to be well
'Til it is, let's remember, we've got a story to tell
[Chorus]
We're alive
So let's taste every tear that falls
Stand and face every fear that calls our name
Sing our song and say we're alive
We gotta take every breath God gives
Like it's the precious gift that it is
Come on, let's live with every heartbeat remindin' us
We are alive
Yeah, we are alive
