Alive In The World

I want to live in the world, not inside my head

I want to 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



I want to live in the world, not behind some wall

I want to 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



To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world



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



To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
