Alive Deep Inside

Gone are the days of a life in the grave Delivered from those days of pain and rage Learning how to fly with each dawn of the day I belong in this place no matter what you say I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive deep inside I'm alive I'm alive going beyond the survive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive deep inside I'm alive I'm alive going beyond the survive Learning how to marvel at this place Figuring out more than just distaste Helping the child from deep within Self-care the new affair no longer a sin I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive deep inside I'm alive I'm alive I'm on the other side I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive deep inside I'm alive I'm alive I'm on the other side On that path of self-esteem Believing even I have the right to dream Little girl, todays' woman sitting side by side Reclaiming my own birth no longer terrified I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive deep inside I'm alive I'm alive I feel as I decide I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive deep inside I'm alive I'm alive I feel as I decide When I free myself from that fury within If I hate I'm no different than them Gotta find my place give that voice some space..
