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
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
