Born To Be Alive

Lyrics

We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive

Born, born to be alive (born to be alive)
You see we're born, born, born, born to be alive

People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all the things
That people need to find their life, life, life

You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born too be alive)
You see we're born, born, born

It's good to be alive, to be alive, to be alive
It's good to be alive, to be alive, to be alive
It's good to be alive

Times was on my side when I was runnin'in the street
It was no bind, bind, bind
A suitcase and an old guitar and
It's all I need to occupy my
A mind like mine

You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born too be alive)
You see we're born, born, born
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born too be alive)
You see we're born, born, born
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born too be alive)
You see we're born, born, born
Born to be alive
You see we're born, born, born to be alive (born too be alive)
You see we're born, born, born, born to be alive
