1
[Verse 1]
2
It's a long road, oh
3
Everyday I wake up and turn my phone on
4
I read the news of the day, just as it's coming down
5
I do my best not to let it get me down
6
I try to keep my head up, but is Babylon
7
This world's in crisis, we try to fight it, this changing climate
8
The scientists and politicians divided by it
9
So many ways we could solve it but they would never sign it
10
This mountains tumbling down, but still we try to climb it
11
It's in the Torah, Quran and in the Bible
12
Love is the message for some how we turn to rivals
13
It's come to people always picking up their rifles
14
Another school getting shot up; homicidal
15
[Pre-Chorus]
16
Some people tryna look fly, some people tryna get high
17
Some people losing their mind, some people tryna get by
18
And when you look in my eyes, you see the sign of the times
19
We all looking for the same thing
20
[Chorus]
21
But what if this song's number one
22
Would it mean that love had won?
23
Would it mean that the world was saved?
24
And no guns are being drawn today?
25
What if everybody had a job?
26
And nobody had to break a law?
27
What if everyone could say
28
That it's good to be alive today?
29
Oh, oh, oh, oh
30
Is it good to be alive today?
31
Oh, oh, oh
32
Is it good to be alive today?
33
Oh, oh, oh, oh
34
Is it good to be alive today?
35
Oh, oh, oh
36
No matter what nobody say
37
[Verse 2]
38
People used to feel safer when they would hear a siren
39
Like help is on its way but now they only think of violence
40
Another youth in the streets and police is in a conflict
41
And now they hear the guns click, yo
42
Ebola crisis and ISIS is taking heads off
43
A drone is bombing a village and now the kids all
44
Signing up to be soldiers, but they all willing now
45
To do the killing now, now are you willing now?
46
Some politicians out there making up some problems
47
And tryna tell the people that they can solve them
48
With TV shows and soundbites and quotes
49
But everybody knows that it's all about the cash flow
50
They telling you and me, they're making progress
51
But tell it to the millions of jobless
52
It's like a players club with billions of dollars
53
To get the votes you got to make it rain in congress
54
[Pre-Chorus]
55
Some people tryna look fly, some people tryna get high
56
Some people losing their mind, some people tryna get by
57
And when you look in my eyes, you see the sign of the times
58
We all looking for the same thing
59
[Chorus]
60
But what if this song's number one
61
Would it mean that love had won?
62
Would it mean that the world was saved?
63
And no guns are being drawn today?
64
What if everybody had a job?
65
And nobody had to break a law?
66
What if everyone could say
67
That it's good to be alive today?
68
Oh, oh, oh, oh
69
Is it good to be alive today?
70
Oh, oh, oh
71
Is it good to be alive today?
72
Oh, oh, oh, oh
73
Is it good to be alive today?
74
Oh, oh, oh
75
And we all say
76
[Bridge]
77
One day, one day
78
One day, one day
79
One day, we all will say
80
That it's good to be alive today
81
One day, one day
82
One day, one day
83
One day, we all will say
84
That it's good to be alive today
