Mm-hm Ooh-ooh-ooh Oh, Lord Mm-hm I was buried alive But I'm still breathing I don't know what tomorrow may bring But I've got a feeling, mm-hm I am alive There must be a reason I was given one more chance My heart's still beating, uh-huh Buried alive But I'm still breathing I don't know what tomorrow may bring But I've got a feeling, oh, I Now, I am alive There must be a reason I was given one more chance My heart's still beating Now all this time I've been blind Only running against the wind Friends of mine passed with time After living a life of sin Some many give up, many give in It's my determination to win I survive the worst of times I survive, yeah I was buried alive But I'm still breathing I don't know what tomorrow may bring But I've got a feeling, oh, I Now I am alive There must be a reason I was given one more chance My heart's still beating, oh They make a ditch for one But there would be two In their attempt to hold my life The wicked things they do But Jah make I brave And I conquer the grave, woah, Lord The Lord is my salvation Whom shall I fear I was buried alive But I'm still breathing I don't know what tomorrow may bring But I've got a feeling, oh, I Now I am alive There must be a reason I was given one more chance My heart's still beating (One more time!) I said buried alive But I'm still breathing I don't know what tomorrow may bring But I've got a feeling, oh, right I am alive There must be a reason I was given one more chance My heart's still beating, uh-huh My heart's still beating Heart's still beating My heart's still beating

I wish that you were here Down amongst the dust I need someone to help me You need someone to trust There's something with these tears Turning me to rust I need someone to help me Yeah I need someone to touch Give me one more try And I'll come flaking back to you I wish that you were here I wish that it was true I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again Just when you thing it's over Just when you think it's done Out of every nowhere You never see it come I know the lines are showing I can't keep them in Like everybody's story It's written on the skin Give me one last try And I'll make it up to you Wish that you were here Wish that I was true I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again I wish that you were here Down amongst my dust I need someone to help me You need someone to trust There's something with these tears Turning me to rust I wish that you were here I wish that it was ours I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again ... Everything's gonna be all right ...

Who's on the seventh floor Brewing alternatives? What's in the bottom drawer Waiting for things to give? Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Come to the free for all With seven tapered knives Some of them six feet tall We will escape our lives Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the m-m-mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Am I the happy loss? Will I still recoil When the skin is lost? Am I the worthy cross? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off? Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Ocean Watch the fingers close When the hands are cold Am I the happy loss? Will I still recoil When the skin is lost? Am I the worthy cross? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off? Am I the happy loss? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off?
