What a year 2020 has been, but hello 2021!
Pandemic-inspired, Alive is about acknowledging the highs and lows of these unprecedented times and recognizing what it means to be truly human.
It is also about mining our strengths and re-discovering the little joys of living in the spirit of gratitude, Alive hopes to help us re-ignite that inner flame as we lean on each other to get through 2020 and beyond.

Lyrics
Verse
When it seems like the world is falling down,
All I feel is nothing, I am numb
I tell myself, it doesn't need to be this way
When I'm overwhelmed, all I do is stop, pause, breathe
Chorus
I wanna be alive, I wanna be alive
From the top of my head to the tip of my toes, I'm a poem of love (repeat)
Verse
When you turn on the news, it's never good
Do you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders too?
You gotta find your very own miracles
When it gets too much, all you do is stop, pause, breathe
Chorus
I wanna be alive, I wanna be alive
From the top of my head to the tip of my toes, I'm a poem of love (repeat)
Bridge
Don't doomscroll on Twitter
Don't feed into hate
Keep your fire burning
To light another's flame
I wanna be alive (x 4)
Chorus
I wanna be alive, I wanna be alive
From the top of my head to the tip of my toes, I'm a poem of love (repeat)
I wanna be alive
