Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Peter Furler has released I’m Alive, a catchy uptempo track off his latest album, On Fire. I’m Alive is the third single off On Fire, after the Top 10 hit Reach and the Top 20 hit, Matter of Faith. I like the prospects of I’m Alive: I like the frisky guitar work, the awesome vocal work, and the powerful declarative nature of I’m Alive. I actually think this track is the best single thus far off the three from On Fire, Furler’s first album since his departure from popular Contemporary Christian band Newsboys, and I think it should do well. A Top 20 finish is more than expected; I hope it sees Top 10.
I’M ALIVE Lyrics
Peter Furler
I’m alive when I was locked inside my head
When I was lost in a maze of doubt
You called my name and woke me up
You called my name and led me out
And when I chased one more mirage
‘Til I was tired and parched again
You gave me one more cup to fill
And sent me one more desert rain
I’m alive
I’m on fire
And my spirit burns with desire
You set me alight
Bright-eyed
And with no way to hold it inside
I wanted to thank You
Thank You
Thank You
I was so sure of all I knew
I knew the world was mine to claim
I had directions printed out
And then I hit a wall of shame
Out there, alone, and left to die
Cut off from You, my sole supply
You shed Your tears for me, and then
You took my hand and raised me high
I’m alive
I’m on fire
And my spirit burns with desire
You set me alight
Bright-eyed
And with no way to hold it inside
I wanted to thank You
Thank You
Thank You
