Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Hands in the air
Put ya hands in the air, yeah
Move if you dare
Don't ever be scared
Don't show em ya fear, yeah
Fight through da tears
Look at the chains, Just Look at the chains
It's a Spiritual thang
Don't be ashamed
To call on his name (Yaweh) This not a game
Im with the gang
Made an exchange, watch how we bang yeah
They shattered his veins, he had to hang
Just to clean dirt off my name
That's so insane
The Love on display, the reason im living today
Thoughts on replay
I cannot repay, What he did on that day
I should be dead but im not
Chance after chance i done got
Let it play no rewind
I thank God im alive
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Alpha, omega, the master, my savior, will save me, from disaster
Im more than, able, to break all, these cages, that try to keep
Me boxed in, an angle, sky high, freedom
Blessed up, im breathing, glowed up, im beamin, win win, streakin, big faith, Stephen Acts 6, Read it, believe it, Israel it's a new season
Haters on deck tryna see-me-drown
You can aim at my heart but-ima-keep-the-crown
On my MJ White never back down
Demons tryna grip me up but ima shut it down Uncut
ima go a thou
Bouta run it up, til im in the ground
Don't believe in luck, made a come up
From where i been to, where im headin now
Tryna live it up, so when the trumpet sound
I get caught up, beyond the clouds, is my lifestyle
I should be dead but im not
Chance after chance i done got
Let it play no rewind
I thank God im alive
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side

This song is to be played at my Funeral so as my friends know that I am still at our beach surfing.....that way I'm alive".

Thomas Elliott

Arguably the finest song I have ever heard from a time when man and nature realised they were and always will be one.

Thomas Elliott

Jay North Thank you. I was very fortunate to be given this education and over the years to have become aware of it. We were handed an essentially pure existence. Unfortunately, given that I grew up in what created this, I realise it is very unlikely to ever happen again.

Thomas Elliott

There is no doubt. This song went into places no others have done. The wind and waves are what we are a part of.

XYDJ

This song, for me, was the highlight of the Morning Of The Earth concert in Newcastle 24/1/12. Gyan's voice was absolutely delightful!

William Drury

Saw this first at st pats Strathfield in 1970 or 71. Was blown away esp because Albie was the projectionist. Still the greatest surf movie of all time. Thanks to the shanahan brothers for organising it..Bali waters still a magic piece of music

Phillip Frisella

the essence of the human heart.

Raevenswood

Klatsch und Tratsch

colindominy

Too Right !! Of Course it still goes on strong. Come to my part of the coast .. anytime of year .. you'll find us out there .. just as in '71 ..... I can also see a direct lineage between this pioneer stuff + "Sea of Joy", etc .. and the awesome spiritual music of Xavier Rudd ...
