[Intro] [Deep bass ad-lib] Yeah… come on… feel the groove… [Verse 1] City lights are flashing, neon in the night I hit the floor, my body’s moving right Sweat is dripping, rhythm takes control This funky bass is feeding my soul Electric guitar is cutting through the air Strings are swirling everywhere Brass hits hard, I’m losing all my cares Tonight I’m free, no worries, no despair [Pre-Chorus] Feel the bassline walking, walking down low Four-on-the-floor, everybody let’s go! [Chorus] I was born to be alive! Born to dance, born to survive! Feel the fire, feel the drive I was born to be alive! [Bm - C - D lift] Born to be alive! [Pause] Born to be alive! [Deep bass male backup] Alive… [Verse 2] Mirror ball is spinning, silver shining bright All the pretty people dancing through the night Hands up high, we’re riding on the wave This disco fever got us all enslaved Funky licks are flying from the stage Synth pads glowing, turning up the rage We don’t stop until the morning light We own the darkness, we own the night [Pre-Chorus] Feel the bassline walking, walking down low Four-on-the-floor, everybody let’s go! [Chorus] I was born to be alive! Born to dance, born to survive! Feel the fire, feel the drive I was born to be alive! [Bm - C - D lift] Born to be alive! [Pause] Born to be alive! [Deep bass backup] Alive come on! [Bridge] [Instrumental build – swirling strings + brass stabs] Let it build… higher… higher… [Deep bass ad-lib] Yeah… take it up now! [Final Chorus – bigger, layered harmonies] I was born to be alive! Born to dance, born to survive! Every heartbeat, every stride I was born to be alive! Born to be alive! (Born to be alive!) Born to be alive! (Born to be alive!) [Deep male bass backup] Alive… alive… we’re alive tonight! [Outro] [Ad-libs over fading groove] Born to be alive… Yeah, feel it… [D - G - D - C - G] We were born… born to be alive!
