We all go through times,

Of both good and bad.

But it's times like these

We remember exactly what we have.

[chorus]

Blackened faces, tired and weary eyes,

Strength and courage inside of you.

Rise from the ashes and look to the sky

Because, it's great to be alive.

Don't ever feel you

Have nothing at all.

Everywhere you turn

There are hands to catch when you fall.

[chorus]

Blackened faces, tired and weary eyes,

Strength and courage inside of you.

Rise from the ashes and look to the sky

Because, it's great to be alive.

[piano solo]

Still we must stand tall

Through the hardship of change.

With each others' love

We found the way, yeah.

[chorus]

Blackened faces, tired and weary eyes.

Strength and courage inside of you.

Rise from the ashes and look to the sky

Because, it's great to be alive.

Rise from the ashes and look to the sky

Because, it's great to be alive.
