Well, guess I am kind of following this druggie theme. My drug of choice is pure love. I had a different approach writing this song. After reading the assignment, I started playing around on my guitar for a bit, and then I started writing. I wrote an entire page of complete thoughts, but it was not in song format. When I scanned over the words, “I feel alive” jumped off the page at me. I then separated “I feel” and “alive” into the pre-chorus and chorus. The puzzle of the song started coming together. Every word of this tune is extremely close to my heart. It was written entirely about the man who holds the other half of my heart. I really am alive for the first the time.
lyrics
Every time you look in my eyes
I stop to realize
How my life has changed because of you
And how sweet you are to love me like you do
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
Oh, I know you are my one true love
Oh, I know that you are the man I have been dreaming of
I can’t wait for you, to ask me to
Follow you, my love, throughout this wide world
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
Oh, this wonderful, thing I’ve never had
Oh, I can’t wait, till you come and take my hand
We have a life, unlike any other
I love you more, than I’ve ever loved another
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
(instrumental)
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Oh, I feel
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
I’m alive for the first time
