The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson, who already worked with Céline Dion in 1999 on "That's the Way It Is." "I'm Alive" was also featured in the Stuart Little 2 movie.
The music video was directed by Dave Meyers between May 24-25, 2002 and premiered in June 2002. There were two versions made: with or without the Stuart Little 2 movie scenes.
"I'm Alive" became a worldwide hit, hitting top 10 in many countries. It was certified platinum in Belgium (50,000) and gold in France (250,000).
The track was remixed by Joe Bermudez, Johnny Rocks and Ric Wake. The latter used a sample of Blondie's 1979 hit "Heart of Glass."
Dion performed "I'm Alive" five nights a week during her show A New Day... at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. It was released on the A New Day... Live in Las Vegas CD in 2004 and Live in Las Vegas - A New Day... DVD in 2007.
The song became a part of the Taking Chances Tour set list and was performed by Dion in a new remix version. Also in October 2008, "I'm Alive" was included on My Love: Essential Collection greatest hits.

Céline Dion Lyrics

I get wings to fly
Oh, I'm alive
When you call on me
When I hear you breath
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm alive
You've set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on clouds above
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight
Cause I'm alive
(When you call on me)
When you call on me
(When I hear you breath)
When I hear you breath
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
I am alive
(When you reach for me)
When you reach for me
Raising spirits high
God knows that
That I'll be the one
Standing by
Through good and through trying times
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the rest of my life
(When you call on me)
When you call on me
(When you reach for me)
When you reach for me
I get wings to fly
I feel that
(When you bless the day)
When you bless, you bless the day
(I just drift away) I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I am alive, yeah
I get wings to fly, God knows that I am alive

My dad would like Celine Dion and this song soo much. But now he is not with me and he will never be . I listen to this music closing my eyes and try to feel him by my side.
@aslampkaslam
pray for him...
@elvisblevins2431
just always remember that he loves you very much and wants the best for you. if listening to this song makes you happy then by all means listen to it and try to visualize you and your dad together taking a joy ride down a old country road and he looks over at you and gives you a warm smile. never stop loving him
