A.M.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were born to be alive
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down
Down
Down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives
Lives
Lives
Yes we were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
IT'S GOOD TO BE ALIVE!
Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine
Fine
Fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
It's all I need to occupy
A mind like mine
Yes we were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)
Yes...
