John Kay To Be Alive Lyrics

To Be Alive Lyrics

Words and music by John Kay







I don't know why you moan and pout



All the world lies at your feet



Like a child you sit and wonder, who's to blame for your defeat



I have tried to give you comfort



I have lent you a patient ear



Had I known why you're complaining, I'd have shown you trouble and fear







Gonna take you to the cliff side on a mountain so high



That when you look down, lord you'll shake and tremble



Afraid to die, afraid to die



Gonna send you the devil when your nightmares arrive



Then when you wake up, lord you'll feel glad to be alive, to be alive







I don't know why you moan and pout



All the world lies at your feet



Like a child you sit and wonder, who's to blame for your defeat



I have tried to give you comfort



I have lent you a patient ear



Had I known why you're complaining, I'd have shown you trouble and fear







*****************NEED ADDITIONAL LYRICS HERE************************



Gonna show you the playground of misery and despair



That you might touch a helpless hand with some compassion



And learn to care, yes learn to care
