Standard (EADGBE)

  Intro

I want to live in the world, not inside my head

I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted

 With the hopeful and the willing With the open and the strong

With the voices in the darkness Fashioning daylight out of song

And the millions of lovers Alive in the world

I want to live in the world, not behind some wall

I want to live in the world, where I will hear if another voice should call

To the prisoner inside me To the captive of my doubt

Who among his fantasies harbors the dream of breaking out

And taking his chances Alive in the world

 To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

 To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world

 With it's beauty and it's cruelty With it's heartbreak and it's joy

With it constantly giving birth to life and to forces that destroy

And the infinite power of change Alive in the world

 To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

 To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world

 To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world

 To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
