Under the Asphalt (I'm Alive)

I am alive I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive Alive

I am alive I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive Alive How long has it been? How long has it been since the earth Kissed the air? And how, how have you been? Have you felt alone, like there’s Nobody there? I feel your soul Deeper than bedrock, Glowing like a hot coal Warm, and wet to the touch The kind of soil One may not find much I make the sun Grow from within The very depths of my womb Under the asphalt Spreading my roots To the light I will emerge soon
