I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive

Can’t keep up with me
They can’t up with me
They want that shit for free
Can’t get that shit from me
But either way you know it’s gonna be the time of your life

It doesn’t matter what you think about me
Imma do what I do this is my Odyssey
Imma go where I go see what I gotta see
Get in all the trouble that I can and break free

I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive

I feel invincible an I just want to celebrate life
You’re irresistible and I just gotta have you tonight
Go do those things you do that I can’t resist
To think that you were gonna miss out on this
Just trust me baby it’ll never subside
We gonna feel this way till the day that we die

I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive

I think we all know why I’m up here smiling
Life’s a bitch but you’re the silver lining
No better place to be than with you tonight
No better medicine than musical highs
So huddle up up front by the stage
And everybody jump yo it’s time to fucking rage

I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
