Lyrics

Verse 1: Soft Opening]
Open eyes, morning glow,
Soft hands reach, the world is slow,
Grass-stained knees, river flow,
Dreams so big, nowhere to go.

Tiny rooms, blankets forts,
Whispered plans in hushed reports,
Lightning bugs, summer nights,
Wishing on a satellite.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus: Picking Up]
Oh, we run, we fall, we rise,
Scraped up hearts and skinned up pride,
Every sunrise, every mile,
We learn to hurt, we learn to smile.

⸻

[Chorus: Fast and Anthemic]
We’re alive, alive, and burning,
Pages turn, the wheels keep turning,
Voices loud, we keep on learning,
Life’s a fire, we keep it burning.

Running fast, we don’t look down,
Heartbeat drums in every town,
Laugh and cry, we spin around,
We’re alive, we’re here, we’re now.

⸻

[Verse 2: Young Adulthood]
Boxes packed, we’re leaving home,
Broken cars, we’re not alone,
Cheap apartments, coffee stains,
Friday nights and window rain.

First love, first loss, first fight,
Dark rooms glow with screen-lit light,
Chasing dreams that kept us up,
Paper hearts and coffee cups.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus: Building Energy]
Oh, we break, we mend, we try,
Build our castles in the sky,
Every year another flame,
Different faces, same old name.

⸻

[Chorus: Fast and Full]
We’re alive, alive, and burning,
Pages turn, the wheels keep turning,
Voices loud, we keep on learning,
Life’s a fire, we keep it burning.

Running fast, we don’t look down,
Heartbeat drums in every town,
Laugh and cry, we spin around,
We’re alive, we’re here, we’re now.

⸻

[Bridge: Slower, Reflective but Energetic]
Silver in our hair one day,
Kids we raised have moved away,
Sunsets watched with tired eyes,
Holding hands through last goodbyes.

We built our stories, made our stand,
We danced in rain, we took a chance,
Years a song we learned to sing,
A quiet flame, an endless ring.

⸻

[Chorus: Soaring but Gentle]
We’re alive, alive, still burning,
Even as the world keeps turning,
Hearts still loud, we’re still learning,
Life’s a spark we keep it burning.

⸻

[Outro: Quiet, Warm, Full Circle]
Morning light, closing eyes,
Soft winds sing their last goodbyes,
Every breath a sacred sound,
Here we are, feet on the ground.

Stars above, rivers below,
Seasons come and seasons go,
We lived, we loved, we let it show,
Alive, alive, we let it go.
