Lyrics

I’m Alive
© May 18 2013 Stan Loh. Dedicated to autism

Verse 1  
C				   E7
I’m a prisoner of my body,
   	        F	          A7	      Dm
I’m a captive of their eyes,
                          G7
But my mind is sound and ready,
		           C  		E
Though my world seems awry.
               Am		     Fm
My presence is feared,
                                                          C
Some avoid me and sneer,
                                     C			              	         G7                                         C 
They don’t know me…they don’t know me… I’m alive,

Verse 2  
	          C		          E7
I’m not easy to be cared for,
   	                  F	          A7	    Dm
There are times I make no sense,
                    G7
I may rise up from the ground floor,
	             C	          E 
To new highs it depends.
               Am	           Fm
If patience is spent,
                                                                C
The low lows give no thanks,
                                C                                      G7                                 C 
Mumbled curses, no forgiveness … I’m alive,

Bridge
                       G			                                 C
I can’t run like a ghost when it rains,
                                  G			                                                  C
Cause my movements get caught up in a hurricane,
                         Em                            Am
But I’ll stand on my own,
  Em		                 Am
Reap what I’ve sown,
                F                                      G 
And even reach the sky,

Verse 3 
	      C		                                          E7
This dusty shroud is trying to hide me,
   	                  F	    A7	      Dm
Weigh me down like a yoke,
              G7
I’m ready to guarantee,
	             C	                 E 
My best try to get uncloaked,
      Am                                 Fm
Won’t be giving up,
                                                                  C
I know the brim of my cup
                                     C			              	         G7                                         C 
They don’t know me…they don’t know me… I’m alive,
                                     C			              	         G7                                         C 
They don’t know me…they don’t know me… I’m alive,
