Phil Beaudreau - Buried Alive lyrics

We are born with the gift of gold
But some with shame just leave the cold
Afraid to shine, so they hide it every day
Men like these live underground
Buried under all the doubt afraid to die
So they just live in their grave

And I was buried alive
And couldn't breathe the air that
We were meant to breathe
But, I wasn't gonna die
Because the world had tried to
Take it off of me

We are born to a world of light
But some have darkness in their eyes
Afraid to see what they might find on the way
Men can't see through the walls of wood
Six feet under a pile of dirt
Afraid to live, so they just lie in the grave

And I was buried alive
And couldn't breathe the air that
We were meant to breathe
But, I wasn't gonna die
Because the world had tried to
Take it off of me

And I was buried alive
And couldn't breathe the air that
We were meant to breathe
But, I wasn't gonna die
Because the world had tried to
Take it off of me and I was buried alive
And couldn't breathe the air that
We were meant to breathe
But, I wasn't gonna die
Because the world had tried to
Take it off of me
