Alive

Call me a drummer and buy 
me a song
Give me a reason to dance 
to a gong
Make me a mountain and dig 
me a bay
Bring me a bird that can 
whisk me away.

Paint me a rainbow that's 
striding the noon
Show me a white cloud 
romancing the moon
Make me a thunder and 
bring me the rain
Give me the sunlight to 
wake me again.

Draw me an ocean that's 
subtle and blue
Bring me a flower embraced 
by the dew
Show me a meteor 
entranced in a dive
Give me a reason to know 
I'm alive.
