I Feel Alive Again

"I Feel Alive Again" came from a real moment in my military journey. I wrote this while deployed, watching the sun set over a foreign horizon, thinking about home and what we were fighting for. The line "Sometimes healing hits like a wildfire wave—Burning off the old, leaving room to be saved." captures exactly what was going through my mind. Every word in this song comes from real experiences—the long nights, the brotherhood, the moments that changed everything.

I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.

This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.

(Inspired by the bold energy of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”)Topic: A veteran rediscovering life after deploymentTone: Upbeat, freeing, confident Verse 1 Shaved the sand off my boots and the weight off my soul,Turned the key in my truck and let the engine unload.Been stuck in grayscale ever since I came home—Tonight I’m painting this town with a color I own. Verse 2 Hit the bar, met the boys, and the neon got loud,Someone bought a round sayin’ “Damn, we’re proud.”I ain’t danced in years, but my feet found a spark,Like they remembered what joy feels like in the dark. Pre-Chorus Sometimes healing hits like a wildfire wave—Burning off the old, leaving room to be saved. Chorus Man, I feel alive again,Like a shot of hope straight under my skin.Let the night roll on, let the good times spin—For the first time in forever, I’m not breakin’, I’m bendin’.Man… I feel alive again. Bridge Tomorrow’s mine, and tonight I’m proofA soldier can learn to dance out of the truth. * Influence: Energetic Keith Urban-style vibe, no melodic overlap
