Someone to catch the light
Someone to draw you right
Someone to draw you right
Kindling for the hair, rose for his heart
I'm alive, I'm alive
Someone to draw you right
There's a world in his veins that's a whole lot better
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
He awakes with the weight of the vision he holds
Set the tides of the blood with the pulse of the drum
Stir the heart with a drum, kiss smoke in his mouth
He's drunk on a life that's a whole lot better
Fingers raised to the sky, a snake for a spine
Carve the lines on his face, a map of the race
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Play him wind through the leaves that's a whole lot better
Someone to catch the light
Show him signs of a life that's a whole lot better
Someone to catch the light
Draw the blue from the skies into his eyes
And he calls down the rain, tornadoes and hurricanes
Wash the boy in the stream, so tenderly
Teach him songs of the bees, double helix and honey comb
I'm alive, I'm alive
Make wings from the leaves, hide from the bark
Juice from the root of a beet for his skin
Press his lips to your lips, give him your breath
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Sees the rent in time through which he must fold
Alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
