People ask me why I never find a place
to stop and settle down, down, down
but I nèver wanted àll the things
that people needed just to find their lives, lives, lives

RIT.: You see we're born, born, born…born to be alive (2V)
It's good to be alive, to be alive, to be alive….
It's good to be alive, to be alive, to be alive….
It's good to be alive….

Time was on my side when I was running down
the street it was the bye, bye, bye
a suitcase and òld guitar and
something new to occupy my mind, mind, mind

RIT.: You see we're born, born, born to be alive (2V)….
