I'm Alive - Live

I'm gonna do something tonight that we've only done

I think we've only done this song a couple of times this year

I told the guys we only do it on special occasions

If this is not a special occasion at Red Rocks, I don't know what is

This is a song that was off of the Lucky Old Sun record

It's a song I did with my friend Dave Matthews, and um

So Dave and the guys, wherever you are tonight, this song's for you

So damn easy to say that life's so hard

Everybody's got their share of battle scars

As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I'm alive and well

It'd be easy to add up all the pain

All the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames

Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain

But not me, I'm alive

And today you know that's good enough for me

Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see?

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

And I'm alive and well

I'm alive and well

The stars are dancing on the water here tonight

It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight

This boat has caught its wind and

Brought me back to life

Now I'm alive and well

And today you know that's good enough for me

Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see?

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

And I'm alive and well

I'm alive and well

I realised last night

Watching this crowd sit in the rain for over two and a half hours

That I was gonna do this song tonight

Thank you everybody

Thank you for lovely music
