Alive and Dying

Sitting here thinking

About the choices I've made

Should have tried to beat the clock

Or gotten out of its way

Got to keep moving

Before I see the red flag

Got to keep on proving

I got this all in the bag

Arrived alive and dying

On the day I came in crying

I had no voice …I had no choice

Though I had to keep on trying

Every day is getting closer

When your alive and dying

Sitting here thinking

This could be my last stand

Do I look past tomorrow

Or grab it by the hand

Lying here thinking

What my words may imply

Should I turn my head away

Or should I look them in the eye

I thought I saw faces

I thought I heard voices

Now I'm off to the races

Looking down a barrel of choices

Arrived alive and dying

On the day I came in crying

I had no voice …I had no choice

Though I had to keep on trying

Every day is getting closer

When your alive and dying

Sitting here thinking

Could this be my last stand

Do I look past tomorrow

Or grab it by the hand

Got to keep moving

Before I see the red flag

Got to keep on proving

I got this all in the bag

Arrived alive and dying

On the day I came in crying

I had no voice …I had no choice

Though I had to keep on trying

Every day is getting closer

When your alive and dying
