Hannah Rebekah - This World Is So Alive Lyrics

They tried to tell me that the world was dead
They tried to tell me that it's all in my head
They tried to tell me that they've got it figured out
And if I ask any more questions, I'll be goin' straight to hell

They tried to tell me that god was a man
They tried to tell me that if I do the best I can
Their systems will allow me to be up there at the top
They tried to tell us both, tried to tell us all to stop

Let me be the one to break it to you
This world is so alive
This world is so alive
Let me be the one to break it to you
(This wand is wavin' around
This wand creates from the ground)
This world is so alive

They tried to tell me this is how it has to be
They tried to tell me it's better than history
They tried to tell me we don't need community
They tried to sell me heroes who had no humanity

They tried to tell me this is the best I'll ever see
Held up less than mediocre as extraordinary
They tried to tell me that the world was dead
They tried to tell me that it's all in my head

This life was a given
This world was a given
No need for further action
That's what they said
Your life is a given
Your world is a given
No need for further action
That's what they said

They tried to tell me we're individuals
They tried to tell me that what I have is self-earned
They tried to tell me to keep my thoughts to myself
They tried to tell me to never ever reach out
They tried to tell me that life should be hard
And if you couldn't hack it, you deserved what you got

They tried to tell me that the world was dead
They tried to tell me that it's all in my head
Tell me, did they tell you those same things, too?

Let me be the one to break it to you
(Down, down, down, down
Did they tell you those same things, too?)
Let me be the one to break it to you
(This wand is wavin' around
This wand creates from the ground)

They tried to tell me to just ignore what I see
They tried to tell me to forget my own mortality
They tried to tell me that I will always be small
They tried to tell me I've got no power at all
They tried to tell me I am only physical
They tried to tell me about the evil in the world
They tried to tell me about the powers that be
They tried to tell me only to believe what I can see

Did they tell you those same things, too?
Tell me, did they tell you those same things, too?
