ALIVE ALIVE OH

I feel beautiful

I feel very beautiful from deep within

Not because of any one

But myself

I feel love

I feel good love from deep inside my heart

Not because you love me

But the love which I have come to appreciate

I feel whole

I feel fully whole like the full whole milk at the stores

Not because am tasty or fat

But because the joy within threatens to burst out

I feel alive

I feel so alive, I could sing about it all day

Not because I could sing to save lives

But because I can't hold back

This song,

This music flowing from the core of my insides,

Oh!

I feel so alive.
