We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born
Born, born
(Born to be alive)
People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives
You see, you were born
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born
Born, born (born to be alive)
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
And something new to occupy
My mind, mind, mind
You see, you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born, born (born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born, born (born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes, you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
Born
