Lyrics

[Intro]
Stay alive
Stay alive
[Verse 1]
Where is my son?
Mister Hamilton, come in
They brought him in a half an hour ago
He lost a lot of blood on the way over
Stay alive
Is he alive?
Yes, but you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and lodged in his right arm
Can I see him, please?
I'm doing everything I can
But the wound was already infected when he arrived
[Verse 2]
Philip
Pa
[Verse 3]
I did exactly as you said, Pa
I held my head up high
I know, I know, shh, I know, I know, shh
High
I know you did everything just right
Even before we got to ten
Shh
I was aimin' for the sky
I know, I know, shh, I know, I know, shh
I was aimin' for the sky
I know, save your strength and stay alive
[Verse 4]
No!
Eliza
Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this?
Stay alive
Who did this, Alexander, did you know?
[Verse 5]
Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me
My son
We played piano
I taught you piano
You would put your hands on mine
You changed the melody every time
I would always change the line
Shh, I know, I know
I would always change the line
I know, I know
[Outro]
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
Good, un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
Un, deux, trois
Sept, huit, neuf
Sept, huit
