Now I Feel Alive - Tim McMorris

[00:01.44]Gotta' move forward if you know what I mean
[00:08.73]Keep on chasing what was started as my childhood dream
[00:24.6]Though it seems like yesterday I thought it's gonna' be gone
[00:30.33]Cause' it's been so long that I've been trying to finish a song
[00:32.64]I've always been a writer and a lover of music
[00:34.96]So I gathered equipment but didn't know how to use it
[00:37.35]And although I could record only my anger was fed
[00:39.78]Cause' it didn't sound on tape like it was in my head
[00:42.4]And I tried so hard but every time I tried to make it
[00:46.38]Something came up tried to break it
[00:48.84]Or someone would try to take it
[00:51.14]Been fighting so long for something that I could not see
[00:55.64]Not with my eyes but in my dreams and still a possibility yeah
[01:00.92]I always said that I'd have a CD
[01:03.18]With a little four track mixer very few thought I'd be
[01:05.31]A successful artist come on now you can't disagree
[01:08.05]You thought I'd still be working in the same factory
[01:10.46]But I'm not no and I'll never look back
[01:12.59]Well maybe just a couple time to help someone that
[01:14.94]Was a friend to me then so I'll remember you now
[01:17.35]As I sing out this song to tell everyone how I came to
[01:20.41]Feel alive now I feel alive
[01:23.729996]I felt dead for so long I felt dead for so long
[01:28.47]Now I feel alive now I feel alive
[01:33.130005]I felt dead for so long it turns out you were wrong
[01:38.47]Now I wanna' give credit if you've shown me some love
[01:40.770004]So thanks to those who pushed me when I needed a shove
[01:43.11]And of course the one who gave me everything that I got
[01:45.61]I'm talking bout' God if you think it's you well it's not
[01:47.729996]I've hardly had-any-help from any woman or man
[01:49.83]Except my family my girl and a couple of friends
[01:52.479996]Who told me keep on going when I wanted to quit
[01:55.1]Especially my girl who says this one a hit
[01:57.119995]And there's a few more people who came for the ride
[01:59.68]Who would listen to my demos and help me decide
[02:01.87]If I should go this way and what style I should sing
[02:04.17]And to those who told me man just keep doing your thing
[02:06.58]And I'll be going to the top and I'll never come down
[02:08.91]Cause I have spent too many years with my feet on the ground
[02:11.4]And to all my old friends who have helped me along
[02:13.64]For you I saved a rhyme and now you're a part of this song
[02:15.99]And I tried so hard but every time I tried to make it
[02:20.5]Something came up tried to break it
[02:22.95999]Or someone would try to take it
[02:25.53]Been fighting so long for something that I could not see
[02:29.7]Not with my eyes but in my dreams and still a possibility yeah
[02:34.47]Now I feel alive now I feel alive
[02:39.11]I felt dead for so long I felt dead for so long
[02:43.83]Now I feel alive now I feel alive
[02:48.42]I felt dead for so long it turns outs you were wrong
[02:53.25]Now I feel alive now I feel alive
[02:57.88]I felt dead for so long I felt dead for so long
[03:02.58]Now I feel alive now I feel alive
[03:07.26]I felt dead for so long it turns outs you were wrong
