If I could see the colours of your skin
Maybe I don't have to be somebody
If I could feel the river on my feet
Feel the earth as it pulls on my body
Don't you get it now, I just wanna
Look alive don't you cry
Some things are not to question why
The rain is hard on your skin
When no one else seems to be right here
They say I gotta be somebody
Some said I'd never make it to 20
I say this life is more than money
Sweet something like milk and honey
Sometimes it seems like
Nobody treats you like you should
Be treated, I wanna tell ya
Look alive sunshine
There's light inside your mind
We don't need to cry
Oh, oh
Look alive don't you cry
Some things are not to question why
The rain is hard on your skin
When no one else seems to be right here
But I still hope for a change in the weather
To be young, to be loved
To be you
Look alive don't you cry
Some things are not to question why
The rain is hard on your skin
When no one else seems to be right here
