Alive

Here is what I know
Hide from it, it will only show
Push it down don't let it grow
Go to sleep and wait for it to go
Oh brother, we're alive
Oh mother, we survived
This is how it is
This is how I have chosen to live
My feet are moving slow
And my mind is going to where I need to go
Oh brother, we're alive
Oh mother, we survived
I would travel far and wide
Just to see you in the open sky
You're a star and a far off light
Since you left us here it gets cold at night
Oh father, we're alive
Oh father, we survived
