It's so soft to see the glow from the city up ahead
Connect my heart to the rhythm it's lead
Straight forward and ready 'cause I'm on my way home

It's so good to be alive in such a hazardous world
To be alive and see the victory unfurled
I'm anxious and waiting 'cause I'm on my way home

Yeah, your war is won, oh, my friend you're finally done
On that day you'll find ambitions, don't lie here anymore
The one you love has gone and settled the score

What more could you ask for now?
It's so good to be alive in such a wonderful year
To be alive and see the end of your fear

With peace in your ear 'cause you're on your way home
And all this time we walk the line through pain and giving in to you
But now it's gone so we'll move on and know that this is not the end

On that simple night when we've all lost our sight
You believed in what I said
From those cursed beginnings to those blessed ends
In between we've found our way to live
