Still Here, Still Alive

If I weren’t alive, I guess I’d be dead. I’d be a soul, Floating around the universe. There’d be no sound, Just my thoughts to keep me company. All the sweet silence, And nothing but calm all around. If I weren’t alive, I would miss my family, But I’d still visit them. I’d know they were okay, Because I’d be the one to protect them. If I weren’t alive, But only just a soul, I might get lonely. I might miss your face, And I’d miss the love that your arms hold, When they’re holding me. If I weren’t alive, And only a soul, I don’t think I’d be as happy, As I am down here on earth. I think I’m glad that I’m still alive.
