[Verse 1]
I am sitting in my room, smoking cigarettes alone
I am thinking of a time when I felt a little more
And I finish my last beer then I write another song
When I scream, when I shout, I think I feel a little more
I am running down the streets, little town is where I'm from
Stumbling over my own feet, and when I fall, I will know
I will know that it is yes and it won't ever be no
I will know my heart will lead and it will show me where to go
And when I sing, it will be honest, this is something that's for sure
And what I say, I swear I mean it, all the lyrics, every song
And I don't wanna be nobody, know I wanna be someone
I don't do this for my ego but my legacy alone

[Chorus]
Young man alive, ooh, young man alive
Young man alive, oh, young man alive

[Verse 2]
And I will never be a hero but I can try to help you out
All the love that I will give you is for free, I'll send it out
You'll receive it in a package full of hope right on your porch
I will stand there in the rain until you open that door
And I will talk about the time when we felt a little more
We will finish our last beer when we're listening to a song
Let them hear us like thunder to the words and to a storm
This is me, this is us, this is every single one
And whatever I will do, I will not do without a doubt
Then I'll be wrong, I will be right, but it will come right from my heart
And you can hate me, you can love me, but I say it one more time
I will sing, I will dance, I will love, and I will cry
[Chorus]
Young man alive
Oh, young man ali-ive
Young man alive
Oh, young man ali-i-i-i-ive
Young man alive
Oh, young man ali-i-i-ive
Young man alive
Oh, young man ali-i-i-i-ive
Na na na na

[Outro]
Young man alive
I'm a young man alive
We're young men alive
Young men alive
Young men alive
Alive, alive
Young man alive
Alive
