[English]
I-I-I, I had a vision
Of a world in harmony
I saw the li-i-ight, burning above
It's why we lived our lives in peace
The ti-i-ide, is slowly turning
It's a new reality
You and I-I-I-I, will build a kingdom
Just as far as the eye can see
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live like I'm never gonna die
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live I'm never gonna die
I've gotta live I'm never gonna die
I-I-I, I found a purpose
And a place to call my home
Now side by side, two million people
And we'll never be alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live like I'm never gonna die
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live like
I've gotta live like I'm never gonna die
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've gotta live like I'm never gonna die
