[Verse 1] I breathe because the air is given I walk because the earth holds me Every heartbeat is a blessing That flows through me so tenderly [Chorus] I am alive because I'm kept alive By forces greater than my own Each moment is a gift I didn't earn But grateful seeds in me have grown I am alive because I'm kept alive Connected to this sacred flow In humble wonder I receive The life that helps my spirit grow [Verse 2] The morning sun awakens me Though I did nothing for its light The rain that feeds the earth I stand on Falls without my prayer or might [Chorus] I am alive because I'm kept alive By forces greater than my own Each moment is a gift I didn't earn But grateful seeds in me have grown I am alive because I'm kept alive Connected to this sacred flow In humble wonder I receive The life that helps my spirit grow [Bridge] Not by my strength alone I stand Not by my will alone I breathe Something greater moves through me In this truth I find my peace [Final Chorus] I am alive because I'm kept alive By love that flows through everything Each breath a sacred gift received My heart learns how to truly sing I am alive because I'm kept alive In gratitude I make my home For in this truth of being held I'm never truly alone
