It's Great To Be Alive Lyrics

It's great to be alive
When there's nothing left to live for
It's great to be alive
When you're left off wanting more
It's great to be alive
When the parallels become slanted
It's great to be alive
When it's taken all for granted

I said woman, won't you save my soul
Before my demons leave me outnumbered
She said, I'm dealing with my own
And I can't hear you through all the thunder
And the lightning inside my brain
You're not the only one who's gone insane
So don't you act like the only one
Who's ever had to deal with pain

It's great to be alive
When every little thing gets serious
It's great to be alive
When there's no other way around
It's great to be alive
When death's around the corner
It's great to be alive
When you're alone at the border

I said baby, won't you give me a chance
Before my brains hit the ceiling
She said, it's about time I got a break
And maybe a little healing
For my own, and so you know
You're not the only one who's gone insane
So don't you act like the only one
Who's ever had to deal with pain

Take the thorn out of your side
And stick it in your pride
Learn what it means to truely suffer
Then, come back and talk to me

It's great to be alive
When everyone's pessimistic
It's great to be alive
When you're always forced to witness
It's great to be alive
When your time is always nearing
It's great to be alive
When your friends keep disappearing

I said woman, won't you save my soul
Before my demons leave me outnumbered
She said, I'm dealing with my own
And I can't hear you through all the thunder
And just so you know
You're not the only one who's gone insane
So don't you act like the only one
Who's ever had to deal with pain

Take the thorn out of your side
And stick it in your pride
Learn what it means to truely suffer
Then, come back and talk to me
