Alive

seen a lot . . . felt too much . . .

heard it all . . . seem out of touch . . .

feel alone . . . no one understands . . .

tired of it all . . . afraid to stand . . .

 

No one's immune from the trials in life.

We've all had our share of pain and of strife.

It's a struggle just to survive

alive.

 

If you're hurting, don't give up.

If you're weary, don't give out.

If you're tempted, don't give in.

If you're afraid, just cry out,

my friend.

 

There is one who has seen what we've seen.

There is one who has been where we've been.

There is one who truly understands.

There is one with the grace for us to stand,

my friend.

 

So, don't give up.

Don't give out.

Don't give in.

Cry out,

my friend.
