To Be Alive

I don't know why you moan and pout
All the world lies at your feet
Like a child, you sit and wonder
Who's to blame for your defeat

I have tried to give you comfort
I have lent you a patient ear
Had I known what you'll be wailing
I'd have shown you sorrow and fear
I'd have shown you sorrow and fear

Gonna take you to the cliff side
On a mountain so high
That when you look down, Lord
You'll shake and you'll tremble
Afraid to die, afraid to die

Gonna send you the devil
When your nightmares arrive
Then when you wake up, Lord
You'll feel glad to be alive, to be alive

I don't know why you moan and pout
All the world lies at your feet
Like a child you sit and wonder
Who's to blame for your defeat

I have tried to give you comfort
I have lent you a patient ear
Had I known what you'll be wailing
I'd have shown you sorrow and fear
I'd have shown you sorrow and fear

Gonna bring you to the playground
Of misery Lord, and despair
That you might touch a helpless hand
With true compassion
And learn to care, learn to care

Gonna take you to the cliff side
On a mountain so high
That when you look down, Lord
You'll shake and you'll tremble
Afraid to die, afraid to die

I don't know why you moan and pout
All the world lies at your feet
Like a child you sit here wondering
Who's to blame for your defeat

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
