(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)
