Jane - Alive lyrics

rate me

She found she was walking on the ground of a one way street

And she cried when she looked in the eye of the people she met

There was no blood there was no secret power

When she counted the cost of all she'd lost

From her ivory tower

She said, "I have courage and I have grace

A kind of wisdom and a certain faith

But it's all I can manage

To keep this place of mine

Alive alive

She kept all the tears she wept in a small container

So when they asked for proof of what she called her truth she said,

"It couldn't be plainer". She told them, "You give me this name

I carry your pain , I do your dying for you

But there's a chance I'll bleed or dare to need

A thread of life to cling to".

She said, "I have courage and I have grace

A kind of wisdom and a certain faith

But it's all I can manage

To keep this place of mine

Alive alive

All I do is pray
