I'm Alive
Celine Dion & Barbra Streisand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get wings to fly
Oh, oh, I'm alive
Yeah

When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
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 am alive, oh

When you call on me (When you call on me)
When I hear you breathe (When I hear you breathe)
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, I)
I feel that (Oh!)

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)
I know that I’m alive, yeah, yeaheah





I get wings to fly
God knows that I’m 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
