about

This song helped me process my sister-in-law's murder. She was working with a team of doctors in Afghanistan, translating for them, and the entire team was shot and killed. I loved her so much, and when I found out she was gone I was too shocked and emotionally drained to write anything for a long time. Then I remembered this song, which was the last thing I'd written before she died. It was as if God himself knew I'd need something to help me work out how I felt, and he prepared it in advance. I hope it reminds people that being alive is a gift, a gift we can do big things with.

lyrics

What you get is what you see
Something's had a hold of me
All these shadows in my eyes make me forget what's inside

that I'm alive, I'm alive

More than ever, I'm angry
and I'd have every right to be
but fury won't be where I quit
Help me forgive what I can't forget

I'm alive, I'm alive

I do always have a choice
and I will choose to lift my voice
Today brought me to my knees
but it won't get the best of me

I'm alive, I'm alive
