So Alive

I feel so alive

all this time

I’ve been suffer’n inside

I’d look behind the glass

and see the grass on the otherside

but now I’m in the green

all the places that I’ve seen

none as great as this

safe, warm in the father’s arms

hold me tight again

and I’ll never let go

cause I know you’re all I got

in this storm called life

you’re my wooden boat that stays afloat

unlike hunks of metal

like the Titanic

she sinks down

I’ll hold onto you cause you’re my true ground

I’ll never let go so I don’t sink down
