Born to be Alive
Dr. Calypso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were born to be, alive
We were born to be, alive
Born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born (born to be alive)

People ask me why i never find a place to stop and settle down, down, down
But i never wanted all the things that people need to find their lives, lives, lives
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're 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...

Times was on my side when i runnin in the street it was the by, by, by
Suitcase and an old guitar and something new to occupy my mind, mind, mind

You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born (born to be alive)
Born, born to be alive (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
