I made it through the wasteland
Thank God I'm back where I belong
I thought I knew the way
I guess the map was wrong
I've missed these icy winters
I'd not have thought it so
When power lines have fallen
And it's seventeen below
I'm alive
I can feel the fire within
My skin may crack, my bones may freeze
But I'm with kindred company
Flowers grow in the desert
If stems are thick and roots are strong
I've watched them bloom together
But never get along
Seems every tender blossom
Each wants the water for its own
Each longs to teach the world
To hum a different tone
One fine song, got the feel and the rhythm
The words don't matter, 'cause nobody listens
Alive
I can feel the fire within
If I turn blue as deepest sea
I'm here with kindred company
Alive
I can feel the fire within
My skin may crack, my bones may freeze
But I'm with kindred company
One thousand dreams, I've been here
Two thousand miles from heart to mind
Three wishes, I'd be grateful
For never having gone
So tonight we're gonna party
Like it's 1993
We may not make Cornerstone again
But that won't bother me
Three small words, gonna learn how to use 'em
Take what's left, gotta learn how to choose 'em
Alive
I can feel the fire within
My skin may crack, my bones may freeze
But I'm with kindred company
Alive
I can feel the fire within
If I turn blue as deepest sea
I'm here with kindred company
