Live Like We're Alive

They say we cant make it through
Too young dont know what to do
This life is much too hard for you and me
They say we're living in our dreams
Black white nothing in between
This world is never as it seems to be

But
They don't want this
They don't feel this
But
This was never theirs at all

So here, I stand, I'm ready for anything
Just, a man, but I'm giving everything
We're here only for a second and then
We're gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive
Let's live like we're alive

They say stay inside the lines
We've drawn and you'll be just fine
Don't take chances with your life
C'mon

But
They don't want this
They don't feel this
But
This was never theirs at all

So here, I stand, I'm ready for anything
Just, a man, but I'm giving everything
We're here only for a second and then
We're gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive
Let's live like we're alive
