- Lyrics:

We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive
Born born to be alive
Born born to be alive
Born born to be alive
Yes we were born born born
Born born to be alive

Time was on my side
When i was running down the street
It was no bind bind bind
A suitcase and an old guitar
Its all i need to occupy
A mind like mine

Yes we were born born
Born to be alive
Born to be alive
Yes we were born born
Born to be alive

People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down down down
I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their life life life

Yes we were born born
Born to be alive
Born to be alive
Yes we were born born
Born to be alive

Its good to be alive
Its good to be alive
Its good to be alive
