ONCE I WAS SHIP OUT ON THE SEA
SO MANY MILES FROM HOME
I FELT SO SMALL, SO LOST AND INSECURE
EVERYTHING WAS WRONG

[CHORUS]
BUT I'M ALIVE, I'M ALIVE,
I'M ALIVE, YES I AM

TAKING MY LIFE INTO MY OWN HANDS
LIVING MY DREAMS AND TAKING THE CHANCE
WALKING MY TALK AND MAKING ROMANCE
LIVING MY LIFE TODAY

NOW I SEE DIFFERENT SHADES OF ME
THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL
I'M NOT ALONE AND NOT SO INSECURE
I'M THE ONE WHO'S KEEPING SCORE

[CHORUS]
