I can't believe the things I'm seeing
I wonder 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A bad enough situation
It's sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as long as it's business first
Toe to toe
Touch and go
Give a cheer
Get your souvenir
People running 'round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war
Straight ahead
Knock 'em dead
Pack your kit
Choose your hypocrite
You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word

I’m Alive ©1979 Barry Ferrier
Packed up all my troubles
In my old kit bag
With just one word for a stale affair
Goodbye
So here I go now, I’m swinging low
Wait for me old blackbird , I’ve found my wings, I’m at liberty
To fly
I’m alive, I’m alive
Something tells me that I’m gonna survive
Ain’t nothing gonna bring me down for long
I’m back on my feet, and I’m coming on strong
I’m alive, I’m alive
I’ll soon be buzzing like a bee in a hive
Humming like a high powered dynamo
I’m back on my feet
Now it’s ready, steady, go
I’m alive
So out into the street
I sailed with all flags flying
Willing to let the night take me by surprise
Hey there perfect stranger
How come you wrapped me in this rainbow
Hey babe, you and me, we’re gonna fly
I’m alive, I’m alive
Something tells me that I’m gonna survive
Tonight I’m a loner in a noisy crowd
But I don’t care let them stare
I’m singing out aloud
I’m alive I’m alive
Something tells me that I’m gonna survive
I’m gonna dance until the sun comes up
So let’s drink a toast to tonight I drain my cup
I’m alive
