Cover art for Alive lyrics by Building 429

This song is about acknowledging one's own immortality, reflecting on their life experiences, and a declaration to live for the moment instead of worrying about death. He reflects on his past experiences and admits that he realizes that life is short ("this life of brevity"), yet he is still alive now and still has time left. The song's bridge, "We're alive, to glorify, the maker of this life" is his declaration that with God, his life is worth living and he doesn't have to fear death because he trusts Him.

In my opinion, this is one of the more empowering Building 429 songs.
