Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here I am
Keep yourself alive
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Might you grow a little wiser, little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
[Verse 3]
I sold a million mirrors in a shop in alleyway
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are tellin' you, "Be a superstar"
I tell you, just be satisfied, stay right where you are
[Verse 4]
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
[Verse 5]
That's right
That's right
Woo
[Verse 6]
Well, I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need, feed my body and my soul
I'll grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal
[Verse 7]
Told a million times of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on tryin' and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, rode a million miles
I'd still be where I started, same as when I started
[Verse 8]
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
[Verse 9]
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take you on your time and honey, honey, you'll survive
[Verse 10]
Do you think you're better everyday?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
[Verse 11]
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive (C'mon, c'mon)
All you people, keep yourself alive
