How Do You Know You'Re Alive

How do you know your alive? 

I know first and foremost I am alive because my heartbeat says so 
because we all have the tenacity to grow 
We know we're alive because we love 
Our hearts have the capacity to love one another 
We help each other 
To see a shiny light 
A light of hope when we lose sight 
We share in our pain and blessings 
Theres so many things
To show we're alive 
It's the melodic tones when they sing 
It's in all the beautiful things 
Like a sunset view upon the beautiful ocean sea 
Like the moments shared between you and me 
Take it all in and see 
That you are alive just like me 
Pain is an emotion that we feel 
That's how we know how we are real 
It's that first kiss when you kiss your lover 
It's when your kind to another 
It's the cold air blowing against your skin so cold 
It's when you have someone to hold 
To be safe in someone's arms like it's home 
It's staying connected by the phone 
It's the souls you meet when you know 
That you were meant to cross each other and show 
That you are there for each other 

Each day you wake up 
Feeling the soft warm glow of the suns rays 
When the future seems a little grey 
It's the way you look at me 
It's the moment you bend on one knee 
When. You make me realise I'm alive 
When you tell me you love me 
Those beautiful words we've come to believe 
When we said I love you 
Those feelings can't be understand 
I go on and on explaining the reasons I I know I'm alive 
But the most important one I know 
Is because of you 
Your the reason for me 
The one thing that tells me I'm alive 
Our love is here and I'm ready to dive 
So that is my explanation 
So many emotions
