You live each day
And never know the reason why you live each day
Until you find another way of seeing things
A way that's real
It’s you against eternity
Alive, you're alive!
It's such a crime
That everybody seems to think it’s such a crime
To dream your dream and make it a reality
If that's a crime
Then tell me what's the point to be alive?
You're alive for the first time
So eat the peach
Before the moment passes
And it's out of reach
With you still at the starting gate
Yeah run! Don't hide!
No matter if you lose this time
'Cos time is on your side
And time is all you need to be alive
If you're the kind
That spends a lifetime wondering if you’re the kind
To break the mould – go see what’s on the other side
Before you're old, and maybe you’ll discover
You're alive
You're alive for the first time
So eat the peach
Before the moment passes
And it's out of reach
With you still at the starting gate
Yeah run! Don’t hide!
No matter if you lose this time
'Cos time is on your side
And time is all you need to be alive
