Lyrics Michael Franti & Spearhead

Michael Franti & Spearhead

Take Me Alive

I took the fire from my heart

And held it in my hand

Watched it burn down the buildings

And rage through the land

I took the fire from my heart

And put it in my words

Wrote it down on a sign

Wrote it on a wall

So everybody heard it

I would love out loud

Live without permission

And walk in the light

I will stand beside you

Stand on the corner

All through the night

Take me alive

Take me alive

While my heart's still beating

Take me alive

I brought water from the well

And washed my face clean

Let go of the sadness and it let go of me

I brought water from the well

From my deepest place inside

No longer a stranger

No longer alone

No need to hide

I will love out loud

Live without permission

Walk in the light

I will stand beside you

Stand on the corner

All through the night

Take me alive

Woah, take me alive

While my heart's still beating

Take me alive

Take me alive

Take me alive

While my heart's still beating

Take me alive

Took the fire from my heart

Held it in my hand

Let it take me over

Let it in my soul

And know I understand

I will love out loud

Live without permission

Walk in the light

I will stand beside you

Stand on a corner

All through the night

Take me alive

Take me alive

While my heart's still beating

Take me alive

Take me alive

While my heart's still beating

Take me alive

While my heart's still beating

Take me alive
