John Kay - To Be Alive video free download

Words and music by John Kay

I don't know why you moan and pout

All the world lies at your feet

Like a child you sit and wonder, who's to blame for your defeat

I have tried to give you comfort

I have lent you a patient ear

Had I known why you're complaining, I'd have shown you trouble and fear

Gonna take you to the cliff side on a mountain so high

That when you look down, lord you'll shake and tremble

Afraid to die, afraid to die

Gonna send you the devil when your nightmares arrive

Then when you wake up, lord you'll feel glad to be alive, to be alive

I don't know why you moan and pout

All the world lies at your feet

Like a child you sit and wonder, who's to blame for your defeat

I have tried to give you comfort

I have lent you a patient ear

Had I known why you're complaining, I'd have shown you trouble and fear

Gonna show you the playground of misery and despair

That you might touch a helpless hand with some compassion

And learn to care, yes learn to care
