Alive Again
Chicago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again

All the empty yesterdays have disappeared
Now that you have filled my life with love
No one else could ever mean so much to me
Every day my high lasts longer
As our love grows ever stronger

Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again

When you gave your love to me you changed my life
Dreams that once seemed hopeless come with ease
Thank you girl for being just the way you are
I would never try to change you
All I live for is to love you
I'm feeling alive
I'm feeling alive again
Don't you know I'm feeling alive

Yesterday (not have believed)
That tomorrow (the sun would shine)
Then one day (you came into my life)
I am alive again

Yesterday (not have believed) (ahh la-la-la-la-la)
That tomorrow (the sun would shine)
Then one day (you came into my life)
I am alive again

Yesterday (not have believed) (ahh la-la-la-la-la)
That tomorrow (the sun would shine)
Then one day (you came into my life)
I am alive again

Yesterday (not have believed) (ahh la-la-la-la-la)
That tomorrow (the sun would shine)
Then one day (you came into my life)
I am alive again

I feel completely spoiled to say that I came of age to music like this. The musicianship is unreal.

What an underappreciated masterpiece!

hahahha sucks

Doobie1975

one of my favorite Chicago songs, sadly this song seems to get very little to no airplay on the radio which is unfortunate cause it deserves to be a timeless classic.

Common Sense

If this song doesn't get you pumped up, nothing will.
