I am sitting in my room, smoking cigarettes alone
I am thinking of a time when I felt a little more
And I finish my last beer then I write another song
When I scream, when I shout, I think I feel a little more
I am running down the streets, little town is where I'm from
Stumbling over my own feet, and when I fall, I will know
I will know that it is yes and it won't ever be no
I will know my heart will lead and it will show me where to go
And when I sing, it will be honest, this is something that's for sure
And what I say, I swear I mean it, all the lyrics, every song
And I don't wanna be nobody, know I wanna be someone
I don't do this for my ego but my legacy alone
Young man alive (ooh)
Ooh, young man alive (ooh)
Young man alive (ooh)
Ooh, young man alive (ooh)
And I will never be a hero but I can try to help you out
All the love that I will give you is for free, I'll send it out
You'll receive it in a package full of hope right on your porch
I will stand there in the rain until you open that door
And I will talk about the time when we felt a little more
We will finish our last beer when we're listening to this song
Let them hear us like thunder to the words and to a storm
This is me, this is us, this is every single one
And whatever I will do, I will not do without a doubt
And I'll be wrong, I will be right
But it will come right from my heart
And you can hate me, you can love me, but I say it one more time
I will sing, I will dance, I will love, and I will cry
Young man alive (ooh)
Ooh, young man alive (ooh)
Young man alive (ooh)
Ooh, young man alive (ooh)
Young man alive (ooh)
Ooh, young man alive (ooh)
Young man alive (ooh)
Ooh, young man alive (ooh)
Young man alive
I'm a young man alive
We're young men alive
Young man alive
Young man alive, alive
Young man alive, alive
