Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Jason Gray has followed up his hit, Remind Me Who I Am with Good To Be Alive, another catchy track off his A Way to See in the Dark album. What I really like about Good To Be Alive, aside from the very clear radio friendliness of the track, is its video. Gray spends the entire time at a park running, jumping, and doing all kinds of acrobatics with cardboard frames containing the lyrics of the song. The YouTube video says it’s the official lyric video, but I don’t really see it as a lyric video in the strictest sense of the word. It’s the official video, and it’s a laugh and a half. I don’t know much about Gray on a personal level, but I have a feeling that he must have had quite a bit of fun – and difficulty – shooting it, and I have to say “Kudos!” to him and the folks at LyricHead Movies for a vid that was really fun to watch.
GOOD TO BE ALIVE Lyrics
Jason Gray
Hold on
Is this really the life I’m living?
Cause I don’t feel like I deserve it
Every day that I wake, every breath that I take you’ve given
So right here, right now
While the sun is shining down
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be alive, yeah
Hold on
If the life that we’ve been given
Is made beautiful in the living
And the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giver
Then right here, right now
This is the song I’m singing out
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be alive, yeah
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be alive, yeah
I won’t take it for granted
I won’t waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say “thank you”
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be, it’s good to be alive
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be alive
I won’t take it for granted
I won’t waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say “thank you”
