“Come Alive” is the ninth song on Madonna’s Madame X album.
The sound is inspired by North African music, specifically that of the Gnawa tribe and it’s characterised by the sound of krakebs, a unique musical instrument which is believed to come from the shackles that chained the slaves who, once th...
[Verse 1]
I'm in the sky where I oughta be at, I've been watching you
Rocket ship takin' off in that, now I'm onto you
Mouth closed, I don't want your opinion, who you talkin' to?
Stand out, no, I don't wanna blend in, why you want me to?
[Pre-Chorus]
They say be all I can be
And all I want is peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace
See the world, haven't seen it all
I wanna see it's, see it's, see it's, see it's, see it's dreams
[Chorus]
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Dream's real, it's alive
Come alive, come on
[Verse 2]
I can't react how you thought I'd react, I would never for you
Front line, I won't stand in the back, 'cause you want me to
Mouth closed, I don't want your opinion, who you talkin' to?
Stand out, no, I don't wanna blend in, why you want me to?
[Pre-Chorus]
They say be all I can be
And all I want is peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace
See the world, haven't seen it all
I wanna see it's, see it's, see it's, see it's, see it's dreams
[Chorus]
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Dream's real, it's alive
Come alive, come on
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come on
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come on
[Interlude]
(Who you talking to?)
(Who you talking to?)
[Verse 3]
I'm in the sky where I oughta be at, I've been watching you
Rocket ship takin' off in that, now I'm onto you
Mouth closed, I don't want your opinion, who you talkin' to?
Stand out, no, I don't wanna blend in, why you want me to?
[Pre-Chorus]
They say be all I can be
And all I want is peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace
See the world, haven't seen it all
I wanna see it's, see it's, see it's, see it's, see it's dreams
[Chorus]
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Dream's real, it's alive
Come alive, come on
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Dream's real, it's alive
Come alive, come on
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come on
[Outro]
Front line, I won't stand in the back
Front line, I won't stand in the back
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive

On how the song has a “north African feel”:
Yes, that’s based on Moroccan Ganawa music, it uses these percussion instruments – the krakebs – that are really distinctive. There’s a song I did with an artist named Kimi Djabaté, it’s called Ciao Bella – it’s going be a bonus track. He’s from Guinea-Bi...
That song was really inspired by my children and wanting to instil in them the idea that they never have to stand in the back, and that they are important human beings and that each and every one of us matters equally. So, and that was also important for me to have a children’s choir singing on it [...
