I'm Alive

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
She walks she runs
She fights almost as one
And finds her voice
She'll march
She has no choice
She's crushed by thoughts
At night of men
Who want her rights
And usually win
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 mirror 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'll hope someone sings along
If I should break
My silent streak
Will knives come out
To cut my cheek
Oh 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 a lot
I know the things I'm not
It's alright it's OK
And it's not
Maybe things will change
