Lyrics:

Gather round
All you young heed my warning
When you're young and you're lovely
There are voices, that pull you down
Like some malady inside us
But not yours and not mine
In her likeness

I come alive, I come alive, I come alive
I come alive this whole week, since you arrived

They seek the shade that you can only get
From the holes in her body
That's the allure of the smoke and the stars
And the call to the oven

And all the women who've fallen before me
Were tipping the scales
But, somehow the allure of the smoke and the stars
Can no longer pull me

I come alive, I come alive, I come alive
I come alive in true love to feel right

Allow myself more than those mothers were allowed
And more love in my life than suicide

And if you say, if you do dare to say
That it's all in my mind
When every trouble that you care to relate to
Was born of a mind
And up against the letters of my betters
Who wrote I should be in the ground

I come alive
I come alive
I come alive
Et je revive

I come alive, I come alive, I come alive
I come alive to feel we are certified

Je revive et je revive
Les joies de vivre
I come alive and out into the real
I come alive
