Good to be alive Songtext

von Chris Thompson

The sun comes up on a brand new day
There's the sweet, sweet smell of the new mawn hay
Across the valley I can see the children play
Oh boy it's good to be alive

The church bell rings in the market square
As the crowds roll up for the village fair
I sit in the fields and breath that country air
Oh boy, it's good to be alive

Well I payed my dues and I took my chance
Cried some tears, had some laughs
I guess I lost my innocence, but I found my heart
Oh boy, it's good to be alive

Though you can't hold on to childhood
You should never lose your dreams
I payed a price for wisdom
In learning what love means

When the sun goes down and the shadows grow
As I warm myself in the fire's glow
And I thank the Lord for bringing me safely home
Oh boy it's good to be alive
