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
You can hope and pray, don't move, just hesitate
She walks, she runs, she fights
Almost as one and finds her voice
She marches, but she has no choice
She's crushed by thoughts
At night, a man who won
She walks, she runs, she fights

All right, and usually wins
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 make the 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 sing my songs
I'll hope someone sings along
If I should break my silent streak
Will knives come out to cut my teeth?
Oh, I'm alive
Yes, 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 about you
A lot, I know
But things are not
It's all right, it's okay
And it's not
Maybe things will change
