why am I walking barefoot
upon this road with no one around
I close my eyes to this decision
the night's like coffee to my tongue
like waking up without a sound
would you help me rise up
touch my face and watch me try to breathe again
all I'm asking is to be alive for once
I look for love I find a stone
of all the seasons winter befriends me
I come to you in friendship
and hold my breath against the snow
what are you thinking as I gaze into you
forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed
all I'm asking is to be alive
all I'm asking is to be alive
all I'm asking is to be alive
