I'm Alive

strolled on down to the valley of death
 I met the angel and the devil's breath
 I can tell you I was not alone
 It was me and myself, and the bright lights on
 Yes, yes, yes it ain't no jive
 Grateful I'm here and still alive
 I stumbled all along my path
 But I took down notes and I photographed
 I'm Alive, I'm Alive, I'm Alive
 I continue to tell you my story
 Chapter and verse I did reverse the hearse
 Now I'm standing here basking in the glory
 Life can be a curse of pride and purgatory
 But I didn't do no crime
 Shouldn't have to do no time
 Could be standing here between the judge and jury
 Hanging from a loose noose like a serpentine
 I'm Alive, I'm Alive, I'm Alive, not dead
 Soldiers to the left
 Soldiers to the right
 Ain't no reason
 Is this treason or just the season
 Not dead I'm Alive, I'm Alive,
 I'm Alive, not dead, I'm Alive, I'm Alive
 I'm going for the sublime this time
 Between the Divine and the humankind
 I'm Alive, I'm Alive, I'm Alive, I'm Alive
 Soldiers to the left,
 Soldiers to the right
 Ain't no reason
 Is this treason or hunting season
 I'm Alive, I'm Alive, I'm Alive, I'm Alive
