Lyrics
When all you got are broken dreams
Just need a second chance
And everything you want to be
Gets taken from your hands
We hold on to each other
All we have is all we need
'Cause one way or another
We always make it you and me
This life could almost kill ya
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be here with ya
And it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I was lost, and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
It's a beautiful night
It's good to be alive (It's good to be alive)
(It's good to be alive) It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
Driving down this highway
Soaking up the sun
Got miles to go before we get home
And the journey's just begun
We hold on to each other (we hold on to each other)
You are everything I need (we hold on to each other)
You feel like forever
You're the second chance for me
Oh, whoa
This life could almost kill ya
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be here with ya
And it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I was lost, and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
It's a beautiful night
It's good to be alive
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
(Oh, whoa) It's a beautiful night
(Oh, whoa) Yeah, it's all right
(Oh, whoa) It's good to be alive
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
This life could almost kill ya
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
(It's good to be alive) It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
And it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I was lost, and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
It's a beautiful night
It's good to be alive
(Oh, whoa) It's a beautiful night
(Oh, whoa) Yeah, it's all right
(Oh, whoa) It's good to be alive
Despair, you come to me (to me)
With your poison and your misery
Oh, Death, you come to sting (to sting)
With your poison and your misery
Death, death, death, death
Death surrounds me, singing to me softly
(Death) And the shadow spreads his wings around me
(Death) In the night, (Death) close your eyes, (comes), or it means to come in (or it means to come in)
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen (singing to me softly)
(Death) In the night, (Death) close your eyes, (comes), or it means to come in (or it means to come in)
I can feel the shadow creeping in my mind
Don't close your eyes!
