Can you believe, that all this time has passed us
And all we were has left us, wishing we were there again
We're all older now, but we still fall down and scrape our knees
Well I can't believe that all these lines keep getting deeper
I watch children become fathers as their mothers weep
And I can see somehow, that it's all about here and now
But I feel something rushing over me and I'm alive
I'm alive
I feel something rushing over me and I'm alive
I'm alive
Thank God I'm alive
You're speaking to me through the beauty of creation
from the highest elevation, to the depths of seas
So I'm not afraid to face this life of brevity
'Cause I feel something rushing over me and I'm alive
I'm alive
I feel something rushing over me and I'm alive
I'm alive
Thank God I'm alive
We're alive, to glorify
We're alive, to glorify
We're alive, to glorify, the maker of this life
We're alive, to glorify, the maker of this life
