Amazing Grace Original Broadway Company Orchestra - Truly Alive lyrics

There's a world I must see Horizon's that I have not explored The kings are not all they seem and courage It's no reward where a man can foresee A time when he can finally say I'm more than my father can be The master of all I survive To be truly alive I need to sell where the strongest survive And find my way through the wind and the spray To a life that I never known A destiny that I can call my own Master John, Thomas you are here Yes and I will be up again soon Not soon enough your father knows you are back and He is a mad as a hornet I don't give a damn what The old man thinks I will not be forced into a life My father had mapped out for me And i don't need anyone to tell me what they think I should be I like to be truly alive I need to sell where the strongest survive And find my way through the wind and the spray To a life that I never known A destiny that I can call my own And I will find what it is that I need to be truly Well well what brings the great adventurer back to Lonely Chattel I supposed it would have inconvenienced you to send word of your arrival We barely communicated when I lived here I figured why break with tradition Dammit John do you think that I built all this Just to see my son all ropes for a living I think you built it so you would not have to see me at all The foolish son believed go again go again He can find a better way Always the same old story Where I can proceed When will you decide You don't know what I need to be truly alive You don't know what you are saying I need to sell where the strongest survive And find my way It's not enough to dream about my life The way you wish it could be So let me prove I am A man who can stand against sea You will see to be truly alive I need to sell where the strongest survive And find my way through the wind and the spray To a life that I never known A destiny that I can call my own Why can't you see that It's up to me I know What you mean to me to be truly alive
