  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
