John Hamilton Poet Lyric

You Make Me Feel Alive

(You make me feel) Alive

I'm in a dark place,
and I don't belong here
Then I see your face,
I let go of all my fears

You never really know,
how scary this life can be
I need for you to show me,
how to face reality

Bridge
You need to know- you need to know
you make me feel alive
You need to know- you need to know
You make me feel alive(yeah)
You make me feel alive
yes you make me feel... alive!

Chorus 1
I see your star shining brightly at night,
I try to catch a tiny beam of light,
I only hope that I'll be alright,
You need to know- you make me feel alive


It's so very hard for me,
to want to wake everyday
I can't face this life alone,
I need you to show me the way


Bridge
You need to know- you need to know
you make me feel alive
You need to know- you need to know
You make me feel alive(yeah)
You make me feel alive
yes you make me feel... alive!

Chorus 2
I see your star shining brightly at night,
you give me hope that I'll be alright,
Please help me to keep up the fight
You need to know-you make me feel alive

You need to know-you make me feel alive
You need to know-you make me feel alive
repeat refrain and fade
