Good to Be Alive

[Verse 1]

When all you got are broken dreams

Just need a second chance

And everything you want to be

Gets taken from your hands

We hold onto each other

All we have is all we need

Because one way or another

We always make it you and me

[Pre-Chorus]

This life could almost kill ya

When you’re trying to survive

It’s good to be here with ya

And it’s good to be alive

[Chorus]

It’s good to be alive

I was lost and I was gone

I was almost dead inside

You and me against the world

It’s a beautiful night

It’s good to be alive

[Hook]

It’s good to be alive

It’s good to be alive

It’s good to be alive

It’s good to be alive

It’s good to be alive

[Verse 2]

Driving down this highway

Soaking up the sun

Got miles to go before we get home

And the journey’s just begun

We hold onto each other

You are everything I need

You feel like forever

You’re a second chance for me

[Pre-Chorus]

This life could almost kill ya

When you’re trying to survive

It’s good to be here with ya

And it’s good to be alive

[Chorus]

It’s good to be alive

I was lost and I was gone

I was almost dead inside

You and me against the world

It’s a beautiful night

It’s good to be alive

[Bridge]

It’s a beautiful night

Yeah, it’s all right

It’s good to be alive

[Pre-Chorus]

This life could almost kill ya

When you’re trying to survive

It’s good to be here with ya

And it’s good to be alive

[Chorus]

It’s good to be alive

I was lost and I was gone

I was almost dead inside

You and me against the world

It’s a beautiful night

It’s good to be alive

[Verse 3]

And it’s good to be alive

It’s good to be alive

I was lost and I was gone

I was almost dead inside

You and me against the world

It’s a beautiful night

It’s good to be alive

[Outro]

It’s a beautiful night

Yeah, it’s all right

It’s good to be alive

["Despair" Interlude: Reese Reynolds, Chamber Choir, John Cooper, Jen Ledger]

Despair, you come to me, with your poison and your misery

Oh oh death you come to sting with your poison and your misery

Death death death death death

Death surrounds me, singing to me softly

Let the shadow spreads his wings around me

In the night, close your eyes, or it means to come in

This is how it feels when you're bent and broken

This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen

Singing to me softly

In the night, close your eyes, or it means to come in

I'll be here to call back

I can feel the shadow creeping in my mind

Don't close your eyes
