Rachael Lampa's "Being Alive" is a reflective pop song that explores the meaning of true life beyond mere existence. The lyrics contrast the noise and routine of daily life with the deeper purpose found in love. Lampa sings about waking up feeling stuck and going through the motions, but she realizes that being alive is about breathing, having something to live for, and holding onto love. The song encourages listeners to not give in when love comes and to learn from life's experiences. It carries a subtle Christian undertone, suggesting that love is the essential, life-giving force.

I don't wanna wake up in a crowded room
No room to move
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers sniffing helium from balloons
Cause they got nothin better to do
You know those days when you can't hear above the noise
And all your doubts deployed
It's getting late and you're getting bored
With the status you cling to
Oooooh
Being alive is breathin in and breathin out, oh
Being alive is knowin what you're gonna live for
It's knowing you got something you can't live without oh
Love love love love love love love
Do you ever wake up and find that you're
The only one that's standing still
Just part of the drill- no big deal
Today is just another thing to get through
And as the day goes passing by
I run down the list of things I meant to try
I meant to fly
I just never got around to it
Ooooooh
Being alive is breathin in and breathin out, oh
Being alive is knowin what you're gonna live for
It's knowing you got something you can't live without oh
Love love love love love love love
So say you will, so say you won't give in when love comes
And when it does you're asking where will it come from
You will live long enough to learn, long as you have some
Love love love love love love love
Being alive is breathin in and breathin out, oh
Being alive is knowin what you're gonna live for
It's knowing you got something you can't live without oh
Love love love love love love love
Being alive is breathin in and breathin out, oh
Being alive is knowin what you're gonna live for
It's knowing you got something you can't live without oh
Love love love love love love love
