I'm Alive (With Dave Matthews)

I'm gonna do something tonight that we've only done I think we've only done this song a couple of times this year I told the guys we only do it on special occasions If this is not a special occasion at Red Rocks, I don't know what is This is a song that was off of the Lucky Old Sun record It's a song I did with my friend Dave Matthews, and um So Dave and the guys, wherever you are tonight, this song's for you So damn easy to say that life's so hard Everybody's got their share of battle scars As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I'm alive and well It'd be easy to add up all the pain All the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain But not me, I'm alive And today you know that's good enough for me Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see? Today's the first day of the rest of my life And I'm alive and well I'm alive and well The stars are dancing on the water here tonight It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight This boat has caught its wind and Brought me back to life Now I'm alive and well And today you know that's good enough for me Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see? Today's the first day of the rest of my life And I'm alive and well I'm alive and well I realised last night Watching this crowd sit in the rain for over two and a half hours That I was gonna do this song tonight Thank you everybody Thank you for lovely music
