alive again

Can't you hear it
Drifting softly on the breeze
It sounds like magic playing chords in the leaves
It's a harp, it's a bass drum, it's a trumpet in the night
A symphony of angels at the dawning of the light

I've been around long enough to know
You hear that siren's song, and you've gotta go
The odyssey's not easy, but you haven't got a choice
There's no resisting love's sweet voice.

When you see it
It's a wonder to behold
You swear you've found the fountain and you never will grow old
Like a prism flashing diamonds, or a rainbow in the sky
You see harmony in colors that you never realized.

I've been around long enough to say
That first sight of love takes your breath away
Like a holy vision, or a guiding light
Love leads you onward through the night.

No one told you love would feel this way
And now you wonder if true love can stay
But, if you're ever really gonna know
You've got to give it up
You've got to let it go

O, you taste it
It might be bitter, might be sweet
But you know to live without it is to be less than complete
So you brace up, and you swallow, and you feel it in your veins
And you know the world around you will never be the same

I've been around enough to realize
It always comes as such a big surprise
When love surrounds you and you dare to take it in
Your senses waken, and you feel Alive Again.

Alive Again.
