To Be Alive words and music by Rob Button © 1998

C G C G C G D

Sun's shining bright, it all seems right, to go out and just be

Helmet's strapped tight, No distractions in sight, oh, to be alive and free

C G/B Am G D

To be alive, no troubles on my mind, not worryin 'bout the weather

To be alive, birds and the trees are kind, gravity my only tether.

Blow out of the door, happy and sure, that I can just be.  

Finished my chores, not keeping scores, because I'm alive and free

To be alive, no troubles on my mind, not worryin 'bout the weather

To be alive, the day and night are mine, seeking joy, not pleasure,

Am G

But you know freedom is not free (You gotta pay the price)

And to live we have to die (At least be willing to)

Yoda said one time (You don't just roll the dice)

Am A7 D

Do or do not, there's no try (Nothin to it but...)

To be alive, no troubles on my mind, not worryin 'bout the weather

To be alive, Looking for what I find, Confident in forever.

Well I'm just about done, my time in the sun, glad that I could just be.

I'm my parent's son, loved by the One, who calls me to be alive and free

To be alive, no troubles on my mind, not worryin 'bout the weather

To be alive, My God is oh so kind, we're livin' life together,

Em D C G Em D C G

To be ali---------ve. To be ali-ve. Oh to be alive!
