Up there it's heaven, down here it's a town
where the streets know your true name
maybe we hung out in the same playground
down on old Hobo lane
I heard you sing that rock'n'roll song
'bout how this world has changed
the hopes and dreams that fill our hearts and minds
I think they're still the same
Ain't no use in searchin' for what we've left behind
Gotta get together and start walkin' the same line (chorus)
time to bite the bullet and stand and fight
let's come alive now, let's come alive yeah...
Life's for the living, every minute counts
in the game of give and take
and let the wind blow away the dark clouds
'cause the future is at stake
gotta hold on to what we've got
and try to make it through somehow
rise above the ways of binding past
and live for the here and now
Ain't no use in searchin' for what's been left behind
gotta get together, it's not hard to read the signs
come on free spirits, time to stand and fight
let's come alive now, let's come alive yeah...
Hold on to the promise and try with all our might
in gettin' what we need so bad, hey reach for the sky
just before we wave another day goodbye
let's come alive now, let's come alive yeah.
