Alive - Vanessa Daou

I am the Universe

(I'm free as a bird)

A strange machine digging in the dirt

(But who does it hurt?)

Thunder rolls but no one listens

(They don’t want to hear)

Dust will blow but red blood glistens

I am alive, I am alive, I am alive

But I’m cold inside

Now they reach beneath my skin

(Pleasure and sin)

Still I can’t feel a thing

(They're drinking me in)

Now they put red lips on mine

(They're taking what’s mine)

Red like blood red like wine

I am alive, I am alive, I am alive

But I’m cold inside

I’m the air that you breathe

I’m the salt of your sea

I’m a crow in the night

I’m the daughter of light
