This Isn't Personal, It Is What It Is - What If This Dream Is All We Have?

I've built some dreams I've held them close Celebrated perfect days I lost the one I loved the most Now she's six feet of earth away I've cried 'til I thought I couldn't stop And I've laughed until it hurt And I've prayed in an empty parking lot And my friends were my church Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace I've seen it from both sides This is what it means to be alive, alive This is what it means to be alive I've seen the face of have to have Of a child without a home A casualty of circumstance Written off and all alone I've cried for the wars that they've been through And I've walked by their side I've watched what the power of love can do And how it changes lives Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace I've seen it from both sides This is what it means to be alive, alive This is what it means to be alive This is what it means, this is what it means This is what it means to be alive, alive This is what it means, yeah Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace I've seen it from both sides This is what it means to be alive

Nobody here knocking at my door The sound of silence I can't take anymore Nobody ringing my telephone now Oh, how I miss such a beautiful sound And I don't even know how I survive I won't make it to the shore without your light No, I don't even know if I'm alive Oh, oh, oh without you now This is what it feels like Nothing to hold but the memories and frames Oh, they remind me of the battle I face Without your love, without you, I drown Somebody save me, I'm going down And I don't even know how I survive I won't make it to the shore without your light No, I don't even know if I'm alive Oh, oh, oh without you now This is what it feels like And I don't even know how I survive I won't make it down the road with one headlight No I don't even know if I'm alive Oh, oh, oh without you now This is what it feels like
