Live Like We're Alive

They say we can't make it through
Too young, don't know what to do
This life is much too hard for you and me

They say we're living in our dreams
Black white nothing in between
This world is never as it seems to be

But they don't want this
They don't feel this
But this was never theirs at all

So here, I stand, I'm ready for anything
Just, a man but I'm giving everything
We're here only for a second and then
We're gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive, let's live like we're alive

They say stay inside the lines
We've drawn and you'll be just fine
Don't take chances with your life
C'mon

But they don't want this
They don't feel this
But this was never theirs at all

So here, I stand, I'm ready for anything
Just, a man but I'm giving everything
We're here only for a second and then
We're gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive, let's live like we're alive
