I've walked so close to death

But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing

I've got so much life left

My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating



A few years ago, driving from the studio back home

With heavy eyes and no attention to the passing signs

The possibility of dying alone seemed a little bit too trivial to occupy my mind

I almost lost control

I'm not invincible

Near death experiences make me realize

That I got more to live for,

And I don't want to let go



I've walked so close to death

But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing

I've got so much life left

My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating



Well I can't say that my beliefs were always consistent

Living every minute on the edge of existence

I don't know if I believe in fate

But I'm grateful for another honest chance to listen

To the positive message that I often neglected

I'll scream it out until my lungs are arrested

I realize that I have more to live for,

And I don't want to let go



I've walked so close to death

But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing

I've got so much life left

My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating



I've walked so close to death

But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing

I've got so much life left

My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating



I'm still breathing

I finally feel alive

(I'm still breathing)

I'll take advantage of my time here

I finally feel alive



I'm still breathing

I finally feel alive

(I'm still breathing)

I've got everything I'll ever need

I finally feel alive
