I shiver when I remembernThe things that I have seennI know the light, I know the NightnI have walked with things unseennI have been a king invinciblenI've been the poorest of the poornI've pulled the mighty from their thronesnAnd laughed at Death's own doornn'Cause I'm alive, I'm alivenI'm alive, I'm alivennI roamed the world in search of lifenDeath followed in my wakenI searched for truth, I want the truthnAnd learned more than I could takenI've walked the roads of mysterynAnd it's aged me much too soonnI've paid the piper and I've paid him wellnBut he still calls the tunennI'm alivennI shiver when I remembernThe shadow of the pastnThe lonely ways, the lonely daysnWhen every breath might be my lastnI lost my heart, I lost my soulnBy every hand betrayednBut I've still got strength, I've still got lifenAnd that will never changenn'Cause I'm alive, I'm alivenI'm alive, I'm alivennI'm alive
