Drug Prevention 2017 Song Contest Winner: Out Alive

Lyrics and Vocals by Jarren Blair, 17, Tennessee

Lyrics: 
I've seen trouble, I've seen pain 
I've seen struggle, for all my days 
They say the devil, is on his way 
To cut me open, and steal my faith 
I know it's hard sometimes 
I know it's hard to find someone you like 
I know it's hard sometimes 
I know it's hard to smile through, I know it's hard to smile through your life
But I'm singing 
 
Ohh I'm saying 
Ohh I'm praying Ohh 
Got my hands up to praise him 
I know I'm gonna make it out alive 
 
Got my hands up to praise him 
I know I'm gonna make it out alive 
 
I've been fearful and I've been strange 
I've been lonely, filled with shame 
They say the people can make a change 
If we love like, it's everything 
I know it's hard sometimes 
I know it's hard to find someone you like 
I know it's hard sometimes 
I know it's hard to smile through, I know it's hard to smile through your life
But I'm singing 
 
Ohh I'm saying 
Ohh I'm praying Ohh 
Got my hands up to praise him 
I know I'm gonna make it out alive 
Got my hands up to praise him 
I know I'm gonna make it out alive 
 
Everybody everybody put your hands up 
Don't wony don't worry it's all love 
Everybody everybody put your hands up 
Don't worry don't worry we'll rise above
