Still Alive (LYRICS)

I was born on fire
In a world frozen in ice
(But) I am still alive

And I grew to sizes
That I could not disguise
(But) I am still alive

I grew to sizes
That I could not disguise
I was born on fire
(But) I am still alive

My ears heard things
That others could not hear
(But) I am still alive

(&) When I shared my feelings
They told me I was queer
(But) I am still alive.

When I shared my feelings
They told me I was queer
(&) My ears heard things that
Others could not hear
(&) I grew to sizes
That I could not disguise

[two-bar interlude]



I was born on fire
(But) I am still alive

I had to travel
To get rid of my baggage
(But) I am still alive

(So) I moved to a land
Where I could not speak the language
(But) I am still alive

I moved to a land
Where I could not speak the language
I had to travel
To get rid of my baggage
When I shared my feelings
They told me I was queer

[two-bar interlude]

My ears heard things that
Others could not hear
(&) I grew to sizes
That I could not disguise
I was born on fire
In a world frozen in ice

[two-bar interlude]

I was born on fire
(But) I am still alive
