Alive In The World Lyrics - Jackson Browne

I want to live in the world, not inside my head 

I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted 

With the hopeful and the willing 

With the open and the strong 

With the voices in the darkness 

Fashioning daylight out of song 

And the millions of lovers 

Alive in the world 

I want to live in the world, not behind some wall 

I want to live in the world, where I will hear if another voice should call 

To the prisoner inside me 

To the captive of my doubt 

Who among his fantasies harbors the dream of breaking out 

And taking his chances 

Alive in the world

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world 

To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world 

With its beauty and its cruelty 

With its heartbreak and its joy 

With it constantly giving birth to life and to forces that destroy 

And the infinite power of change 

Alive in the world
