We Are Alive

We Are Alive

We are who we are

Without a whistle

To be blown

We are so afraid

of the unknown

Where we grow

We are what we save

What we don’t show

A crippled crow

If we ever get out

Alive

We can make it out

Alive

We are who we are

Without reason

To unfold

We are so engaged

Into the weakness

From which we stray

We are who we need

To get through to us

To better days

If we ever get out

Alive

We can make it out

Alive

We are alive
