I told them all the ones I love I'm leaving and I may not return See lately I've been overcome A feeling I fear has just begun The pain I feel deep inside That haunts us all that we will die Never really knowing how it feels To be alive Through mountains and over seas Through misery and disease A spectator I played my part But nothing could move this heart Until i held the boys hand The little one spoke like a man He showed me death and said This is how you know you're alive A kingfisher in flight You'll rise above the sea of doubts Into a world full of clouds (Yea) Alive
