I'm still alive tonight
I can feel my heart beating
Emotions on the surface of my skin
I can hear my breathing

Wind upon those bedsheet sails
Spirit broods over the deep
I see an image of my Father
And he bids me: "Come and sleep"

No one is sleeping down the hallway
No one is here beside me now
And the lonliness, like a fever,
Is hot upon my brow

I know life is more than just survival
But that's all that I can see
I'm still alive tonight
And that's good enough for me

I'm still alive tonight
