Coming Alive from Coming Alive by Christie Lenée
"When I wrote the song 'Coming Alive,' I felt like a caged animal releasing myself into freedom. I'd been hibernating in a log cabin in the mountains in complete isolation during spring and summer of 2020. In that, there was a feeling of how incredible it would be to get back into the world again.
As I sang this and created the words I felt like I was able to travel inside of the song... in the music, the 12 string guitar and the melodies. While I was still in the log cabin making the first demo, which was sang right at midnight on my birthday, July 10th of 2020, something was moving within me and I felt like I was traveling inside of myself. This song helped me find something extraordinary within and I experienced a new place of self discovery. Two years later, here we are celebrating the release of the final version!!!
This is a song of getting back out into the wild. There is a sense of trusting the self that all will be well when taking massive leaps of faith, listening to the call of the soul and discovering all that you are. Can you feel it? 'I’m coming alive... To the ocean of endless dreams.” - Christie Lenée

Lyrics
Coming Alive
– Christie Lenée
Iʼve got a feeling deep inside
Iʼm coming
Coming alive
Deep in this body of water
Thereʼs a tide taking me on a ride
Iʼm coming alive
Coming alive
Iʼm on a journey
Iʼve set my sights out
To the open road
This is survival
Out in the wild
My greatest teacher
She lives inside
Coming alive
Out to the sunsets
Maybe Iʼll find love
I canʼt stop dreaming
Itʼs so close that I can touch
Holding my heart here
Steady my speed
There is a tide
Taking over me
Feel the light coming down from the moon
Shine on, I am ready to move
Got a feeling deep inside
Iʼm coming alive
To the ocean of endless dreams
Rise up - new possibilities
Keeping hope in my eyes
Iʼm coming alive
Wonʼt live in fear
I am a dreamer
Following the leader
She lives inside
Iʼm seeing clearly
Through all this haze
Ready to go
To the open road
Out to the sunsets
Iʼm wild and Iʼm free
There is a tide
taking over me
Feel the light coming down from the moon
Shine on I am ready to move
Got a feeling deep inside
Iʼm coming alive
To the ocean of endless dreams
Rise up, new possibilities
Keeping hope in my eyes
Iʼm coming alive
((Instrumental))
Feel the light coming down from the moon
Shine on, I'm ready to move
Got a feeling deep inside
Iʼm coming alive
(Feel the light)
Iʼm coming alive
(Shine on)
I feel it deep inside
In the ocean of my life
Iʼm gonna be alright
(Feel the light)
Iʼm coming alive
(Shine on)
I feel it deep inside
In the ocean of my life
Iʼm coming alive
