About

For awareness of those Ones in World we've forgoten who are in need of watter.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Woke up

The floorboards felt cold

Heavy boots clicking on the porch

Sunlight

Slant across the kitchen table

Steam rising up

I am here

I am breathing

Dust settles on the pine

Chorus

I am grateful to be alive

I am grateful to be alive

Walking down to the river bank

Feeling the water

Grateful to be alive

Post-Chorus

Hey now

Hey now

Low water running

Hey now

Verse 2

Grey morning

Mist hangs thick on the ridge

Wet grass

Soaking through my leather shoes

I saw a hawk

Circling slow

Circling low

Circling back

The marrow in my bones feels steady

Blood is moving

Heart is heavy but it works

Chorus

I am grateful to be alive

I am grateful to be alive

Walking down to the river bank

Feeling the water

Grateful to be alive

Bridge

Maybe the luck held out

Maybe the wind stayed soft

Maybe the path stayed clear

I didn't earn the oxygen

But I'll take it

Yeah I'll take it

The silence is a gift

Chorus

I am grateful to be alive

I am grateful to be alive

Walking down to the river bank

Feeling the water

Grateful to be alive

Outro

One more day

One more mile

One more

Just being

Just being

Just being alive
