Gotta’ move forward, if you know what I mean |
| [00:25.53] |
Keep on chasing what was started as my childhood dream |
| [00:27.93] |
Though it seems like yesterday I thought it’s gonna’ be gone |
| [00:30.28] |
Cause’ it’s been so long that I’ve been trying to finish a song |
| [00:32.63] |
I’ve always been a writer and a lover of music |
| [00:35.05] |
So I gathered equipment but didn’t know how to use it |
| [00:37.27] |
And although I could record only my anger was fed |
| [00:39.69] |
Cause’ it didn’t sound on tape like it was in my head |
| [00:41.96] |
And I tried so hard, but every time I tried to make it |
| [00:46.36] |
Something came up, tried to break it, |
| [00:48.66] |
Or someone would try to take it |
| [00:51.32] |
Been fighting so long, for something that I could not see |
| [00:55.72] |
Not with my eyes, but in my dreams, and still a possibility, yeah |
| [01:01.13] |
I always said that I’d have a CD |
| [01:03.08] |
With a little four track mixer, very few thought I’d be |
| [01:05.44] |
A successful artist, come on now you can’t disagree |
| [01:07.68] |
You thought I’d still be working in the same factory |
| [01:10.13] |
But I’m not, no, and I’ll never look back |
| [01:12.62] |
Well maybe just a couple time to help someone that |
| [01:14.73] |
Was a friend to me then, so I’ll remember you now |
| [01:17.23] |
As I sing out this song to tell everyone how, I came to |
| [01:19.94] |
Feel alive, now I feel alive |
| [01:23.50] |
I felt dead for so long, I felt dead for so long |
| [01:28.13] |
Now I feel alive, now I feel alive |
| [01:32.94] |
I felt dead for so long, it turns out you were wrong |
| [01:38.51] |
Now I wanna’ give credit if you’ve shown me some love |
| [01:40.81] |
So thanks to those who pushed me, when I needed a shove |
| [01:43.17] |
And of course the one who gave me everything that I got |
| [01:45.47] |
I’m talking bout’ God, if you think it’s you, well it’s not |
| [01:47.97] |
I’ve hardly had-any-help from any woman or man |
| [01:50.23] |
Except my family, my girl and a couple of friends |
| [01:52.59] |
Who told me keep on going, when I wanted to quit |
| [01:55.05] |
Especially my girl who says this one a hit |
| [01:57.30] |
And there’s a few more people who came for the ride |
| [01:59.70] |
Who would listen to my demos and help me decide |
| [02:01.95] |
If I should go this way, and what style I should sing |
| [02:04.28] |
And to those who told me man just keep doing your thing |
| [02:06.59] |
And I’ll be going to the top, and I’ll never come down |
| [02:08.94] |
Cause I have spent too many years with my feet on the ground |
| [02:11.31] |
And to all my old friends who have helped me along |
| [02:13.66] |
For you I saved a rhyme and now you’re a part of this song |
| [02:15.88] |
And I tried so hard, but every time I tried to make it |
| [02:20.45] |
Something came up, tried to break it |
| [02:22.92] |
Or someone would try to take it |
| [02:25.33] |
Been fighting so long, for something that I could not see |
| [02:29.49] |
Not with my eyes, but in my dreams, and still a possibility, yeah |
| [02:34.43] |
Now I feel alive, now I feel alive |
| [02:38.74] |
I felt dead for so long, I felt dead for so long |
| [02:43.44] |
Now I feel alive, now I feel alive |
| [02:48.25] |
I felt dead for so long, it turns outs you were wrong |
| [02:52.95] |
Now I feel alive, now I feel alive |
| [02:57.55] |
I felt dead for so long, I felt dead for so long |
| [03:02.25] |
Now I feel alive, now I feel alive |
| [03:06.88] |
I felt dead for so long, it turns outs you were wrong |
