[Bb] [F]
It's a long [C] road.
[Gm]
Every day I wake up and [Bb] turn my phone on.
I read the news of the day just [F] as it's coming down.
I do my best not to [C] let it get me down.
I try to keep my head up, but [Gm] this is Babylon.
This world's in crisis, we try to fight it.
[Bb] This changing climate, with scientists and with politicians [F] divided by it.
So many ways we could solve it, but they [C] will never sign it.
This mountain's crumbling down, but still [Gm] we try to climb it.
It's in the Torah, Quran, and [Bb] in the Bible.
Love is the message, but somehow we turn to rivals.
[F] It's come to people always picking up their rifles.
[C] Another school getting shot upon [Bb] its dial.
Some people trying to look fly, some [Dm] people trying to get high.
Some people losing their mind, some people trying to get [F] by.
And when you look in my eyes, you'll see [C] the sign of the times.
We all looking for the same thing.
[Gm] But what if this song was number one?
[Bb] Would it mean that love had won?
[F] Would it mean that the world was saved?
[C] And no guns are being drawn today.
[Gm] What if everybody had a job?
[Bb] And nobody had to break a law?
[F] What if everyone could say, [C] yeah, yeah,
that it's good to be [Gm] alive today?
Oh, [Bb] oh, oh, oh.
It's good to be [F] alive today.
Oh, oh, [C] oh, oh.
It's good to be [Gm] alive today.
Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, oh.
It's good to be [F] alive today.
Oh, oh, [C] oh, oh.
No matter what nobody [Gm] say, people used to feel safer when they would hear a [Bb] siren.
Black health is on its way, but now they only [F] think of violence.
Another youth in the streets of police is [C] in a conflict, and now they hear the guns click.
[Gm] Yo, Ebola crisis and ISIS is taking [Bb] heads off.
A drone is bombing the village, and now the [F] kids are signing up to be soldiers.
But they are [C] willing now to do the killing now.
But are you [Gm] willing now?
Some politicians out there making some [Bb] problems and trying to tell the people that they can [F] solve them.
With TV shows and sound bites and [C] quotes, but everybody knows that it's all about the [Gm] cash flow.
They're telling you and me they're making [Bb] progress, but tell it to the millions of [F] jobless.
It's like a players club with billions of [C] dollars.
To get the votes, you got to make it rain in [Bb] Congress.
Some people trying to look fly.
Some people [Dm] trying to get high.
Some people losing their minds.
Some people [F] trying to get by.
And when you look in my eyes, you can see the [C] sign of the times.
We all looking for the same thing.
But [Gm] what if this song was number one?
Would [Bb] it mean that love had won?
Would [F] it mean that the world was saved?
And [C] no bombs were being dropped today?
What [Gm] if everybody had a job?
And [Bb] nobody had to break a law?
What [F] if everyone could say?
[C] That it's good to be [Gm] alive today.
Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, oh.
It's good to be [F] alive today.
Oh, oh, [C] oh, oh.
It's good to be [Gm] alive today.
Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, oh.
It's good to be alive [F] today.
Oh, oh, [C] oh.
[Gm]
One day, one day, [Bb] one day, one [F] day.
One day we'll all be [C] saved.
It's good to be alive [Gm] today.
One day, one million [Bb] years
One day, one million [F] years
One day we'll all be free
[C] [F]
