I am alive
I wonder at all I see around me
I hear animals cry
I hear the animals cry
I see everything
I want to sing and make the birds chirp
I am alive
I pretend I'm a blackbird
I feel free as I fly
I touch the sky
I worry for nothing
I cry at night
But I'm alive
I understand the spirits
I say my thoughts out loud
I dream many dreams
I try to be strong
I hope there will be happiness
I am alive
I prerend I'm a blackbird
I pretend I'm a blackbird
I feel hee as I fly
I feel free as I fly
I touch the sky
I worry for nothing
I fret for no reason
I cry at night
I weep at night
But I'm alive
But I'm still alive
