The sun comes out up on a brand new day
There's the sweet sweet smell of the new mawn hay
Across the valley I can watch you and the children play
Oh - it's so good to be alive
The church bell rings in the market square
As the folks roll up for the country fair
I rest my head in the fields and breath that good ol' country air
Oh boy - so good to be alive
Well I payed my dues
And I took my chance
cried some tears
Sure had my laughs
I guess I lost my innocence
But I found my heart
Oh boy - so good to be alive
We can't hold on to childhood
And it hurts to lose a dream
We pay the price for wisdom
And we think we're learning what love means
The sun goes down see the shadows fall
As I warm myself in the fire's glow
And I thank the lord
For bringing you safely home tonight
- it's good - so good
To be alive
There's the sweet sweet smell of the new mawn hay
Across the valley I can watch you and the children play
Oh - it's so good to be alive
The church bell rings in the market square
As the folks roll up for the country fair
I rest my head in the fields and breath that good ol' country air
Oh boy - so good to be alive
Well I payed my dues
And I took my chance
cried some tears
Sure had my laughs
I guess I lost my innocence
But I found my heart
Oh boy - so good to be alive
We can't hold on to childhood
And it hurts to lose a dream
We pay the price for wisdom
And we think we're learning what love means
The sun goes down see the shadows fall
As I warm myself in the fire's glow
And I thank the lord
For bringing you safely home tonight
- it's good - so good
To be alive
