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 John Derek Hamilton May 15,2019

Oh, my - I felt this one, John. You got me in written words, I can only imagine how my emotions would have swayed were it actually being sung. Again, Oh, My! I definitely relate to this song, it is one I'd turn up when alone in the car and let carry me. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
