You know it's so good to be alive
For the first time in my life
Good to know, to be sure of who I am
And all of my illusions are falling from my eyes
Since the day I met joy by surprise
In my search for the truth
All I ever found were lies
Must have turn every stone along the way
And following the path they made it caught me by surprise
When I looked up into the Carpenter's eyes
Like scales my illusions are falling from my eyes
It's so good to be alive
Now that I've been born again
Good to know, to be sure who I am
And all of the confusion is passing me by
Since the day Jesus came into my life
Since the day, since the day I met joy by surprise
