Alive And Free

Verse 1

The asphalt is cold and the morning is gray

But I’m sweeping the cobwebs of habit away

Got a fire in my chest and the wind at my back

No time for the shadows, no time for the slack

They built all the cages, they wrote down the rules

But I've got a spirit they can’t make a fool

Chorus

Oh, I’m breathing, I’m running, I’m breaking the chain

'm walking through fire and dancing in rain

They try to contain it, they try to out-drive

But nothing is sweeter than just being alive

Yeah, I’m making my own way, as wild as the sea

Forever breathing, forever free!

Verse 2

There are walls in the valley and locks on the doors

There are whispers of "never" on all of the floors

But my heart is a compass that points to the sun

My story is mine and it’s just now begun

Let them count up the hours and measure the cost

Every step that I take is a boundary I've crossed

Chorus

Oh, I’m breathing, I’m running, I’m breaking the chain

I'm walking through fire and dancing in rain

They try to contain it, they try to out-drive

But nothing is sweeter than just being alive

Yeah, I’m making my own way, as wild as the sea

Forever breathing, forever free!

Bridge

It’s a rhythm of heartbeats, a song in the chest

When the world pushes hard, I will put it to test

No looking behind me, no bowing my head

I’m carving my path where the others have fled

The horizon is wide and the air is so sweet

Got the whole open universe under my feet!

chorus

Oh, I’m breathing, I’m running, I’m breaking the chain

I'm walking through fire and dancing in rain

They try to contain it, they try to out-drive

But nothing is sweeter than just being alive

Yeah, I’m making my own way, as wild as the sea

Forever breathing, forever free!

Outro

Alive... and so free.

Nobody owns me, nobody but me.

Yeah, alive and free.
