Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
I get wings to fly, oh-oh
I'm alive
Yeah
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly, I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky, I know that I'm alive
Oh, I
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die, I'm glad that I'm alive
You've set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on clouds above, yeah
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight (my spirit takes flight)
'Cause I am alive, oh
(When you call on me) When you call on me
(When I hear you breathe) When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly, I feel that I'm alive
I am alive
(When you reach for me) When you reach for me
(Raising spirits high) God knows that
That I'll be the one
Standing by through good and through trying times
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the rest of my life
(When you call on me) When you call on me
(When you reach for me) When you reach for me
(I get wings to fly, I feel that) Oh
(When you bless the day) When you bless, you bless the day
(I just drift away) I just drift away
All my worries die, I know that I'm alive, yeah
I get wings to fly, God knows that I'm alive
About This Song
"I'm Alive" is a soaring ballad about spiritual and emotional rebirth through transformative love, marking Celine Dion's triumphant return to music after a hiatus. The song explores themes of awakening, renewal, and finding one's true self through deep connection with another person, with lyrics that metaphorically describe feeling liberated and empowered ("I get wings to fly"). Musically, it features Dion's signature powerful vocals over a lush pop arrangement that builds from intimate verses to an anthemic, gospel-influenced chorus. The track served as the lead single from her comeback album "A New Day Has Come" and became significant as both a personal statement about her own life changes and a universal anthem about love's power to heal and transform. Its uplifting message and Dion's emotional delivery made it a standout moment in her catalog, representing hope and resilience during a pivotal period in her career.
