A song about the good old days of our species. You know, when there was just a few of us and we tended to keep it going.

Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitar and I sang and played bass. Oh, yeah, I also played the marimba part in the Bridge on the Donner piano.

We Were Alive

They say it was a long, long time ago
when everyone would help the group survive.
It was the time they felt we knew we were alive.

Remember how it was before we fell?
We had each other's back to help us thrive.
It was when we worked as one. We were alive.

How can we survive when all we have just goes away?
Greed will have a price we all must pay someday.

I wonder if one day we'll come around,
and maybe love of life will soon revive.
All that once was lost refound, we'll come alive.

End: When we lived as one we were alive.
