Analysis of Come alive
Bent my mind
And it won’t bend back
I have walked down a one way track
Now I'm feeling, and breathing lord
I'm alive, I'm alive!
I’ve been all caught up in this mindless magical maze
Not where to go because there's more than a million ways
If i live until die, let me die with my life
Until my time is over I'm alive
Life I have
I hold dear
Even when
It's all unclear
How I
How I will survive
All I know, is I’m alive
