Just sit, and wait

Don't move, just hesitate

You can hope, and pray

You can moan

Maybe things will change.

You feel your soul

Get hollowed out

While the world implodes

You just live without.

She walks, she runs

She fights, almost as one

And finds her voice

She'll march

She has no choice.

She's crushed by thoughts

At night of men

Who want her rights

And usually win.

But she's alive

Oh, she's alive

She's alive

Oh, she's alive.

He screams, he shouts

The heads on the tv bow

They take the bait

They mirror waves of hate.

They break down walls

To free their sins

And then their hearts

Come caving in.

Oh I watch, I think

I dance and sometimes I drink

I sing my songs

I'll hope someone sings along.

If I should break

My silent streak

Will knives come out

To cut my cheek?

Oh, I'm alive, yes I'm alive

But I'm alive, oh, I'm alive

I'm alive, oh, I'm alive

Yes, I'm alive, yes, I'm alive.

I care a lot

I know the things I'm not

It's alright, it's ok

And it's not

Maybe things will change.
