Happy To Be Alive

Sometimes it's hard to find direction
Especially when you don't live nine to five
And those who do will always try to drag you down
It's the only way they've learnt how to survive
Fight the ones who always rub against you
Focus on the strength that's deep within
Live your life exactly how you think you should
And understand the pain of going against the grain
If you're feeling empty inside, we'll fill you up with music
Hear the rhythm, feel the funky vibe: there ain't no way to refuse it
Make the connexion to a deeper side
We'll make you feel so happy, so happy to be alive, yeah yeah
Sometimes the world feels cold and lonely
When twisted fate has dealt a blow
But don't lock it up inside of you
A stronger person always lets it go
Bridge the gap between now and tomorrow
Avoid the traps that build up in your mind
Find the strength to replace what they take from you
Close your eyes, open your mind and find
If you're feeling empty inside, we'll fill you up with music
Hear the rhythm, feel the funky vibe: there ain't no way to refuse it
Make the connexion to a deeper side
We'll make you feel so happy, so happy to be alive -- cos --
We are one world, one people, rooted in one song
In search of perfect harmony, we strive to get along
Giving our love and sharing our space
Unite the world in music and it becomes a better place
Bridge the gap between now and tomorrow
Avoid the traps that build up in your mind
Find the strength to replace what they take from you
Close your eyes, open your mind and find
If you're feeling empty inside, we'll fill you up with music
Hear the rhythm, feel the funky vibe: there ain't no way to refuse it
Make the connexion to a deeper side
We'll make you feel so happy, so happy to be alive
