Keith Johns – Were Alive lyrics

[Intro]
The wind that's in the trees
Is the same that stirs in me
The best things have always been free
I can taste the dust I'm of,
Taste the hope and loss and love
Of the countless who lived before me
So let's raise our noses high,
Let's toast to this new life
And the ecstasy found in each breath
Let's dance in the light of dawn,
While the curtain remains drawn
In this brief intermission between death
We're alive! Oh-Oohhh Ohh Ohhhh
Magnificent, this world we're in
Where each sunrise is a symphony,
And you are a work of art.

[Instrumental]
So let's whistle while we walk
Don't heed the tick or tock
Of that mechanical bandit, the clock
If you're burdened down by time
Dive deep in another's eyes
Where the hours melt like waves on the rocks
We're alive! Oh-Oohhh Ohh Ohhhh
Magnificent, this world we're in
Where each step you take makes history,
So join in and play your part
And each passing smile's an eternity,
Who knows what it could start Ah-ah Ahhhh?
Where each creature sings in harmony,
Let's join in with all our hearts.
(no chords just percussion)
We're alive! Oh-Oohhh Ohh Ohhhh
Magnificent, this world we're in
Where each sunrise is a symphony,
And you are a work of art.
And it's more beautiful than I could ever dream
And my love, you're the very best part.
