Now I Feel Alive - Tim McMorris.mp3

[00:23.43]Gotta’ move forward, if you know what I mean
[00:25.53]Keep on chasing what was started as my childhood dream
[00:27.93]Though it seems like yesterday I thought it’s gonna’ be gone
[00:30.28]Cause’ it’s been so long that I’ve been trying to finish a song
[00:32.63]I’ve always been a writer and a lover of music
[00:35.05]So I gathered equipment but didn’t know how to use it
[00:37.27]And although I could record only my anger was fed
[00:39.69]Cause’ it didn’t sound on tape like it was in my head
[00:41.96]And I tried so hard, but every time I tried to make it
[00:46.36]Something came up, tried to break it,
[00:48.66]Or someone would try to take it
[00:51.32]Been fighting so long, for something that I could not see
[00:55.72]Not with my eyes, but in my dreams, and still a possibility, yeah
[01:01.13]I always said that I’d have a CD
[01:03.08]With a little four track mixer, very few thought I’d be
[01:05.44]A successful artist, come on now you can’t disagree
[01:07.68]You thought I’d still be working in the same factory
[01:10.13]But I’m not, no, and I’ll never look back
[01:12.62]Well maybe just a couple time to help someone that
[01:14.73]Was a friend to me then, so I’ll remember you now
[01:17.23]As I sing out this song to tell everyone how, I came to
[01:19.94]Feel alive, now I feel alive
[01:23.50]I felt dead for so long, I felt dead for so long
[01:28.13]Now I feel alive, now I feel alive
[01:32.94]I felt dead for so long, it turns out you were wrong
[01:38.51]Now I wanna’ give credit if you’ve shown me some love
[01:40.81]So thanks to those who pushed me, when I needed a shove
[01:43.17]And of course the one who gave me everything that I got
[01:45.47]I’m talking bout’ God, if you think it’s you, well it’s not
[01:47.97]I’ve hardly had-any-help from any woman or man
[01:50.23]Except my family, my girl and a couple of friends
[01:52.59]Who told me keep on going, when I wanted to quit
[01:55.05]Especially my girl who says this one a hit
[01:57.30]And there’s a few more people who came for the ride
[01:59.70]Who would listen to my demos and help me decide
[02:01.95]If I should go this way, and what style I should sing
[02:04.28]And to those who told me man just keep doing your thing
[02:06.59]And I’ll be going to the top, and I’ll never come down
[02:08.94]Cause I have spent too many years with my feet on the ground
[02:11.31]And to all my old friends who have helped me along
[02:13.66]For you I saved a rhyme and now you’re a part of this song
[02:15.88]And I tried so hard, but every time I tried to make it
[02:20.45]Something came up, tried to break it
[02:22.92]Or someone would try to take it
[02:25.33]Been fighting so long, for something that I could not see
[02:29.49]Not with my eyes, but in my dreams, and still a possibility, yeah
[02:34.43]Now I feel alive, now I feel alive
[02:38.74]I felt dead for so long, I felt dead for so long
[02:43.44]Now I feel alive, now I feel alive
[02:48.25]I felt dead for so long, it turns outs you were wrong
[02:52.95]Now I feel alive, now I feel alive
[02:57.55]I felt dead for so long, I felt dead for so long
[03:02.25]Now I feel alive, now I feel alive
[03:06.88]I felt dead for so long, it turns outs you were wrong
