Alive Lyrics - Singles - Jane

She found she was walking on the ground of a one way street 

And she cried when she looked in the eye of the people she met 

There was no blood there was no secret power 

When she counted the cost of all she'd lost 

From her ivory tower 

She said, "I have courage and I have grace 

A kind of wisdom and a certain faith 

But it's all I can manage 

To keep this place of mine 

Alive ... alive 

She kept all the tears she wept in a small container 

So when they asked for proof of what she called her truth she said, 

"It couldn't be plainer". She told them, "You give me this name 

I carry your pain , I do your dying for you 

But there's a chance I'll bleed or dare to need 

A thread of life to cling to". 

She said, "I have courage and I have grace 

A kind of wisdom and a certain faith 

But it's all I can manage 

To keep this place of mine 

Alive ... alive 

All I do is pray ...
