Ever since I was a baby in the bog

I was always a curious little frog

I remember asking mama when I was five

I asked her what it was to be alive

And she said if it's growing flowers or it's growing hairs

If it grows too big for the clothes it wears

Then you'll know as you watch it and you see it grow

It's alive

If it's splashing water or it's breathing air

If it roars like a tiger or it eats like a bear

That'll show you all you need to know that it's alive

Eatin' a sandwich or eatin' a shoe

Snackin' on apples or left over stew

If it's breathing or growing or eatin' some lunch

I think that's it's more than a hunch

That it's alive

We're alive

We're alive

We're alive

'Cause we eat and breathe and grow

We're alive

And we've one more fact to state

That we think it's really great

To be alive

To be alive

To be alive
