[Verse 1]
As your will is bent and broken
And every vision has been cast into the wind
As your courage crashes down before your eyes
Don't lay down and die

[Chorus]
'Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you why
You question the strength inside
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive

[Verse 2]
When every wound has been re-opened
And in this world of give and take, you must have faith
And the distance to your dreams stretch beyond reach
Don't lay down and die, no

[Chorus]
'Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you why
You question the strength inside
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive
[Guitar Solo: Mark Tremonti]

[Bridge]
How it feels
How it feels to be alive
How it feels
How it feels to be alive
How it feels
How it feels to be alive

[Chorus]
'Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you why
You question the strength inside
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive

[Outro]
How it feels to be alive
