Well the time is right, that's what the mighty Duke says

And he lights his pipe with a grin

And the moon so bright, like a neon light

Shines on me & my friend

You can sense the new day, not far away

Like a silent bubble ready to burst

But right here, right now, with 'em crickets lullabies

It's so good to see what it's worth

Feel alive, feel alive, feel alive



It may bring me down in a terrible mood

Waist-deep down in the mud

Put a load on my shoulder, like a five ton boulder

And I can't shake it off like I should

Adversities may line up, can't find a reason to smile

All you wanna do is give up, sit right down and cry

But on the positive side, I'm feeling alive

Listening to the Son's of Thunder

Sanctified music from an up-lit hill

Tonight I can't go under

The night comes down on Duke's verandah

And everything, everything is alright



I believe in love like a burning fire

Glowing through my soul

Burning down every distance

So the divided can come to a whole

And if the world don't care for dreamers

That's the odds we'll have to stand

But tonight I ain't gon' worry

Just gon' sit right here with my friend

And feel alive, feel alive, feel alive



It was such a great night , I was full of delight

Glowing just like the Duke's pipe

Trombones sounding off the hillside

And that yellow moon so bright

The night came down on Duke's verandah

And everything, everything was alright
