Leo, the human being - What it means to be alive

Sometimes I lay in bed at night
Thinking about the ones I love
Dreaming about the times I lived
And missing all the stars I lost
So I take these memories so dear to me
And hold them tight like a teddy bear
Like the one I loved when I was a child
The same one that burned in a fire

Holding on, holding out
Hopelessness is hard to find
Hold my head up in the dark
Where the past is left behind, oh
Moving on, moving out
Memory hills are hard to climb
Hold my head up in the dark
That's what it means to be alive

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze
These moments that made me feel alive
And live them again when I feel grim
And hold on to them like a candle in the night
But I know too well I can't keep them
That I can't master time, that I can't fix it
That all I got left are faded pictures
Dimmed memories and blurred out regrets

Holding on, holding out
Hopelessness is hard to find
Hold my head up in the dark
Where the past is left behind, oh
Moving on, moving out
Memory hills are hard to climb
Hold my head up in the dark
That's what it means to be alive

So let me feel alive
So let me feel alive
So make me feel alive
So make me feel, and I'm

Holding on, holding out
Hopelessness is hard to find
Hold my head up in the dark
Where the past is left behind, oh
Moving on, moving out
Memory hills are hard to climb
Hold my head up in the dark
That's what it means to be alive
