Yaakov Shwekey – “I Am Alive”

Eyes pop, mind’s already racing 

New day, what will I be facing? 

Where is my ride? My coffee’s cold again. 

Wake up, kids, the bus is coming 

Miles of homework, tell me, where you’re running? 

Pressure’s rising fast and here we go again. 

But when your day is going backwards and it swallows you, 

Open up your eyes 

The good is right in front of you. 

It’s been 340 days 

Thanking you ten million ways 

That – I AM ALIVE, I AM ALIVE. 

Breathing, singing, standing strong 

Skies are blue What could be wrong? 

That – I AM ALIVE, I AM ALIVE 

Moonlight… the stars are all around me 

Was dark, but now the light has found me 

The world is turning every day for me. 

I know each moment is a treasure 

Thanking you for every stone and feather 

What are you grateful for today, my friend? 

And when your day is going right just say a simple prayer 

Thanking you for the little things that, 

That help to get you there. 

We all want to live forever, but we all seem to forget 

We haven’t lived the days 

The weeks, the months, the years. 

I had yet, we need to stand  

Hhere on the green grass, 

Need to feel the sunshine now. 

Need to see what’s right 

Before us, today is all 

We have for now.
