From underneath the trees, we'd watch the sky 00:11

Confusing stars for satellites 00:17

I never dreamed that you'd be mine 00:20

But here we are, we're here tonight 00:24

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive (I'm alive) 00:28

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive 00:34

If everyone cared and nobody cried 00:41

If everyone loved and nobody lied 00:45

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride 00:49

Then we'd see the day when nobody died 00:53

And I'm singing 00:58

A-Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive 01:00

Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive 01:06

And in the air the fireflies 01:13

Our only light in paradise 01:17

We'll show the world they were wrong 01:20

And teach them all to sing along 01:24

Singing Amen I, I'm alive (I'm alive) 01:28

Singing Amen I, I'm alive 01:35

Lyrics:

[English]

From underneath the trees, we'd watch the sky

Confusing stars for satellites

I never dreamed that you'd be mine

But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive (I'm alive)

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

A-Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies

Our only light in paradise

We'll show the world they were wrong

And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I, I'm alive (I'm alive)

Singing Amen I, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died...

When nobody died...

And as we lie beneath the stars

We realise how small we are

If they could love like you and me

Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died...

We'd see the day, we'd see the day

When nobody ded

We'd see the day, we'd see the day

When nobody died

We'd see the day when nobody died
