We're Alive Lyrics - Sesame Street

Ever since I was a baby in the bog 

I was always a curious little frog 

I remember asking mama when I was five 

I asked her what it was to be alive 

And she said if it's growing flowers or it's growing hairs 

If it grows too big for the clothes it wears 

Then you'll know as you watch it and you see it grow 

It's alive 

If it's splashing water or it's breathing air 

If it roars like a tiger or it eats like a bear 

That'll show you all you need to know that it's alive 

Eatin' a sandwich or eatin' a shoe 

Snackin' on apples or left over stew 

If it's breathing or growing or eatin' some lunch 

I think that's it's more than a hunch 

That it's alive 

We're alive 

We're alive 

We're alive 

'Cause we eat and breathe and grow 

We're alive 

And we've one more fact to state 

That we think it's really great 

To be alive 

To be alive 

To be alive
