"Well I've been thinking about you, and I wish you the best 
But every night I go to sleep, I miss you a little less 
And still somehow I love you more with each new day 
So I thought I'd write you, yeah, I thought I'd send my new address 
I've been staring at your picture that's sitting here on my desk 
And I thought you might be wondering if I'm ok 

I'm alive and I'm living 
In a place where the world's crust has shifted 
And the stars in the Milky Way, they're giving a party for New Mexico 
Yes, I've come to the desert just to find my way to forever 
And you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico 

So I want to thank the One who leads us, for the way that He has led 
For the times we've spent together, and for the times we ain't seen yet 
And still somehow this is a path we must both walk alone 
And we can't measure the distance, but we'll treasure every step 
And I know His love will give us the strength we need to press on 
So let's hold onto Him, and He will show us our way home 

I'm alive and I'm living 
In a place where the world's crust has shifted 
And the stars in the Milky Way, they're giving a party for New Mexico 
Yes, I've come to the desert just to find my way to forever 
And you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico 

And the stars can be so bright, the air's so thin 
And as I'm looking out tonight, I think about you 
Looking for Him 

I'm alive and I'm living 
In a place where the world's crust has shifted 
And the stars in the Milky Way, they're giving a party for New Mexico 
Yes, I've come to the desert just to find my way to forever 
And you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico 
Yes, you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico"
