Meggie George - I Am Alive Lyrics

You grew up in the arms of trees
Finding songs within their leaves
But learned to silence what you heard
When you found out that was absurd
Don't you know
Trees don't speak and leaves don't sing
So you let go of these childish things
And walked into an emptiness
A landscape with no life or death
You found out you could be someone
Someday, so bright just like the sun
All you were gonna have to do
Was suppress those untamed things in you
And you tried, you did, 'til you couldn't go on
And turned to those half-remembered songs
Saying, "If these fires have come for me
Let them melt alienation! Oh, clear this fog from me!"
I am the wild
I am the untamed
I am alive in everything but name
I weave
I breathe
I seed
Oh, I
I ring
I sing
I rage, rage
Oh, I
I am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
And stories shifted 'til you could glimpse through
To pushed away places pushing back at you
Those places where breath and dirt begin
Those places where illusions keep shattering
Soon you were standing bare on heaving ground
Restless voices all around
Saying things that you could not ignore
Saying, "These things I thought I held
I do not hold them anymore!"
I am the wild
I am the untamed
I am alive in everything but name
I weave
I breathe
I seed
Oh, I
I ring
I sing
I rage, rage
Oh, I
I am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
Am alive
