(Verse 1) Wasn't it yesterday I was eight years old A pocket full of rocks That I knew were made of solid gold There were girls to be hated Trees to be climbed Forts to be built, There was so much time It's good to be alive, It's good to be alive (Verse 2) There's nothing in the world like being fifteen Your pockets are empty, but your head is full of dreams Of girls to be loved Of places to see It's the best and the worst Just my friends and me And we're anything we want to be (Chorus) And it's good to be alive To feel the wind in my face See the blue in the sky It's days like this I realize What a gift it is It's good to be alive (Verse 3) Well I wonder, what this day will see Will I find my dreams or stare in the face of tragedy Whatever may come Whatever may be Of this I am sure, I'm forgiven and free And I will live like I believe (Repeat Chorus)
