I'm alive
And the world shines for me today
I'm alive
Suddenly I am here today.
Seems like forever
And a day
Thought I could never
Feel this way
Is this really me?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
And the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive
And the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world
Far away
Never another word
Till today
But what can I say?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Suddenly came the dawn
From the night
Suddenly I was born
Into light
How can it be real?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Clio: Sister Muses, come! Join me where the land embraces the sea.
There's an artist who needs our inspiration to achieve truly great work.
And as surely as we are the offspring of Zeus I tell you that I will go in disguise to help this
Sonny is his quest for artistic achievement.
Muses: Huzzah!
Clio: First, I will not call myself Clio. I will call myself Kira.
Calliope: You've thrown them off the track now.
Clio: Secondly, I will where roller skates and leg-warmers.
Euterpe: You shall be as current as today's headlines.
Clio: And thirdly, I will sport and Australian accent! G'Day, Mate!
Muses: Ahhh!
Clio: I tell you sisters, by the fires of Hephaestus . . .
I mean . . . by the fires of all the shrimp on the Barbie.
I shall help this Sonny Malone to fulfill his destiny.
Suddenly came the dawn
From the night
Suddenly I was born
Into light
How can it be real?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
And the world shines for me today
I'm alive
Suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever
And a day-ay
Thought I could never
Feel this way
Is this really me?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
