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.
