Alive Again 03:20
After the winter, life comes again Open the windows and let the sunshine in It's been too long since you've felt alive All these things right in front of you Open your eyes Can you smell the rain? Can you hear it fall? All around you now, just give into it all And the things inside of you that you thought were dead Are calling out for you to be alive again, alive again You say it's complicated, there's no way I could know How you've become so jaded, it's time to let things go You've held on for so long, you can't let this die But trust me dear this time, give it up and become alive Can you smell the rain? Can you hear it fall? All around you now, just give into it all And the things inside of you that you thought were dead Are calling out for you to be alive again, alive again They're calling out for you to be alive again, yea

I want to love, I want to be real I want to see with my heart, I want to feel I want to know who you really are To go beyond the skin and hear the whispers of your heart I want true love I want true love I want true love I want true love I want to dance with you, hold you close to me I want to look in your eyes just to see what I see So would you walk with me down this unknown road? Cause I want to take your hand and make it my own I want to love you I want to love you I want to love you Like you are my own I was made for this, to taste heaven's holy kiss And all I want to do is spend the rest of my life with you I want to love you I want to love you I want to love you I want to love you I want to love you I want to love you I want to love you Like you are my own

I got the call today, and your voice sounded scared You stumbled through your words as you spoke what I feared And we didn't have much time, so I raced out the door Leaving all my things behind, praying God let me see you once more Cause I didn't know that you were gonna leave me I didn't know that I wouldn't see you again I didn't know that I couldn't hug you One last time and tell you I love you again Cause you're never quite prepared What if I had said, that I loved you every chance That I got to see your face, well it still wouldn't bring you back And all I wanted was another day with you But the end always comes too fast, it always comes too soon Cause I didn't know that you were gonna leave me I didn't know that I wouldn't see you again I didn't know that I couldn't hug you One last time and tell you I love you again Cause you're never quite prepared To face the things you cannot bare You're never quite prepared, to lose a friend

I know you know who I was You know who I was, was not enough I could not look you in the eyes Cause I know you saw through my disguise You saw who I was and who I was Wasn't who I'm supposed to be One day you caught me by surprise Said hey boy, how are you, how's your life? I said OK I'm doing fine But inside I knew it was a lie Cause you saw who I was and who I was Wasn't who I'm supposed to be And I remember feeling weak when I looked into your eyes Cause nothing I could do or say could mask all of my lies And all you did was look my way at just the perfect time And I knew I had to change when your eyes met mine

You can spend your life, your pennies and your dimes Each moment at a time, just like we all do You can play your life, just like a record on a table Spin it all you want but you can't hit rewind One thing that I've learned about getting second chances Is that they come twice Cause the time we're given is what we make of it Stop pretending, just start living it now You gotta live it somehow You got all these choices like static noise You gotta pick one and live it cause before you know it, it's gone Yea your life aint' that long As the days go by, you watch the time fly These moment's become minutes, become our lives Cause the time we're given is what we make of it Stop pretending, just start living it now You gotta live it somehow You got all these choices like static noise You gotta pick one and live it cause before you know it, it's gone Yea your life aint' that long You got all the time, all the time in the world You got all the time, all the time in the world
