Alive in the World

[Verse 1]

I wanna live in the world

Not inside my head

I wanna live in the world

I want to stand and be counted

With the hopeful and the willing

With the open and the strong

With the voices in the darkness

Fashioning daylight out of song

And the millions of lovers

Alive in the world

[Verse 2]

I wanna live in the world

Not behind some wall

I wanna live in the world

Where I will hear if another voice should call

To the prisoner inside me

To the captive of my doubt

Who among his fantasies

Harbors the dream of breaking out

And taking his chances

Alive in the world

[Chorus]

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

To open my eyes and finally arrive in the world

[Verse 3]

With its beauty and its cruelty

With its heartbreak and its joy

With it constantly giving birth

To life and to forces that destroy

And the infinite power of change

Alive in the world

[Chorus]

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

To open my eyes and finally arrive in the world

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

To open my eyes and finally arrive in the world
