I'm Still Alive (Chris Hillman/Steve Hill)


Carry on with your madness
I can't hear you anymore
You could scratch on my window
And knock on my door

I'm not afraid of your presence
Your shadow on the wall
Don't take me for granted
Don't take me at all

I'm still alive
like a fire still burning in the dead of the night
I'm alive
and the angel of mercy is right by my side

You act like I owe you 
But I'm not in your debt
I've seen you before
And I'd like to forget

You're a face in the dark
And a thief in the night
You wanna take my heart
You wanna put out the light

I'm still alive
like a fire burning in the dead of the night
I'm alive
and the angel of mercy is right by my side

I will go on forever and forever I'll be
in God's grace through all eternity
No, no, nothing will change
Nothing will change, I'm still alive

Read about you in the paper
You're all over TV
You come off as my saviour
but you can't save me

And I walk with the shadows
The darkness is my friend
I can face tomorrow
I can face the end

I'm still alive
Like a fire still burning in the dead of the night
I'm alive
And I will not surrender, I will survive
I'm alive
like a fire burning in the dead of the night
I'm alive
and the angel of mercy is right by my side
