I was born to live forever.

my eyes, they're open
they're awake and they see
each morning

my feet, they ache
but they run and they're running
inside joy

my lungs, they cough
but they're breaking and I live
every second

my fingers, they hear
they're aware of the beauty surrounding
they're adventuring
all the time

my heart, it stutters
but it's feeling and working
I am alive
forever.

myself, I am
I am
believing
accelerating
breathing
exploring
living.

I am alive
forever
