lyrics

I’m just living life one day at a time, sailing steady through this ocean
I’m a kingly portrait in hallway light even when I’m feeling broken
I see mountains in the distance and the valleys I’ve been in them
Speaking fondly of the changes, in my ears rings carpe diem

Religion, the war, the love being made
The arguments in walls whose affect is great
The feelings of joy and the feelings of fear
Mean yes you’re alive, yes you’re alive
The jails we build, a birthday wish
The smile that comes when you hear you’re missed
We all dissolve in the darkest night
So laugh and sing, yes you’re alive

I stand in waves that toss and throw, then feel alive once footed
See gravity in items that, the scientific wouldn’t
I’ve said my prayers and I’ve lost my faith, left blissful in confusion
Broken chains for the freedom knowing rules are all illusion

A loss of faith, your own applause
Accepting someone else’s flaws
The feelings of joy and the feelings of fear
Mean yes you’re alive, yes you’re alive
A death too soon, the break of a laugh
An upset friend who is calling back
We all dissolve in the darkest night
So laugh and sing, yes you’re alive

You can fight like a boxer but the gloves wear thin
Or wait for an invite to carry you in
Some cry poor me and others fear to fail
And the ones who say yes seem to live tall tales

The birth and the grave and all that’s in between
The moments of the day that make us sing
The feelings of joy and the feelings of fear
Mean yes you’re alive, yes you’re alive
From dust we’re made to dust we’ll go
So blast through life so you’ll grow your soul
We all dissolve in the darkest night
So laugh and sing, yes you’re alive
