Alive Today Words and Music by SHEILA KIRSTEN HUGHES On and on, the river flows On and on, the wind it blows On and on, the sun will shine Today it feels so good to be alive Open up the doors, let the light leak in There's music in the distance Leaves dancing with the wind Birds in conversation Hidden by the old oak tree And I just had to stop to say God it feels so good to be alive today Found a quarter on the sidewalk Saw a smile upon your face I know sometimes it's hard To believe we'll find our place But today I caught a glimpse of All we are and all we'll be Made it feel so good to be alive today On and on, the rain will fall On and on, what lives will grow On and on, the season's change But before you make that change let me say It feels so good to be alive today Watched the sunset burn the sky In brilliant shades of red The ocean swelled with green hues before the night crept in With a gentle kiss from my love To tuck me in at night Made it feel so good to be alive On and on, the river flows On and on, the wind it blows On and on, the sun will shine Today it feels so good to be alive break... On and on, the rain will fall On and on, what lives will grow On and on, the season's change But before you make that change Let me say It feels so good to be alive today On and on and on. . .
