Hello once again! After forever, I've decide to post another songfic. I wanted to use Meant to Live, by Switchfoot, but I couldn't find the lyrics. I used a P.O.D. song instead. But I'm running out of ideas, as unlikely as that is. Please, please, pretty please, give me some suggestions! I'd appreciate it so much! Thank you to all my reviewers!

Jimmy B: Thank you. I'm sure your stories are awesome, but if you want me to, I'll beat-read them. My email address is

Moon Archer: Thank you. Do you need help with your Sirius songfic? Siriusly, I'll help (lol).

HarmonyHanyou: Thank you.

Amychan: COOKIES!!!! ::Stuffs face full of crumbly goodness:: Mmm uoo moh oor omonmn ::Swallows:: I mean, thank you for your compliment.

BubblyBoo: Thank you. Evanescence rocks!

Jaderabbit: Yusuke's awesome! How can you bash him? I think I might've on accident a few times, but I never mean it! ::shifty eyes:: Thank you.

Disclaimer: I don't own P.O.D. I've never even heard this song, I just thought it fit. I feel like such a hypocrite...::cries::

Alive

By P.O.D

Everyday is a new day


I'm thankful for every breath I take

I've never felt this way before.

I won't take it for granted

So I learn from my mistakes

I've hurt so many people, wrecked so many lives. I've watched so many die, most at my hands.

It's beyond my control, sometimes it's best to let go

Whatever happens in this lifetime

I began again, in hopes of saving myself, preserving my criminal ways. Six years later, my hopes were realized; I was saved, but in a drastically different and rather painful way.

So I trust in love

You have given me peace of mind

I am no longer the legendary thief, but someone else. I became someone whom, previously, was unable to describe.

I feel so alive for the very first time


I can't deny you


I feel so alive


I feel so alive for the very first time


And I think I can fly

It feels like my blackened heart has been dusted off, with a duster only you can hold. Like a riddle, which only your motherly touch can fathom.

Sunshine upon my face


A new song for me to sing


Tell the world how I feel inside


Even though it might cost me everything

When you were hurt, did you cry out in pain? No. Holding your glass-filled arms, you asked if I was okay.

Now that I know this, so beyond, I can't hold this


I can never turn my back away

At ten, I was going to desert you, leave you all alone. After that day, I didn't.


Now that I've seen you


I can never look away

Those scars of yours held me, like the key to my unintentional imprisonment. But I'm not angry. I'm the opposite: happy.

Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)


Now that I see you (I could never look away)

When you were dying, lying on those merciless hospital beds, I tried to save you. It was then, after I almost died trying to rescue a human life, that I realized the truth. I had committed my last act of thievery. I had stolen hatred from my soul, replacing with something much more productive.

Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)


Now that I see you (I believe no matter what they say)

I am neither demon nor human. I am something completely different. I am a son. I am a son who loves his mother. I am a son named Shuichi Minamino. I am, for the first time in my many years of living, completely and fully alive.

A/N: I'm not quite sure how good that is. Sorry if the format is a little messed-up. I think Meant to Live would've been so much more fun to write. Oh, well. When you review, can you please leave suggestions? I'm thinking about doing Botan, or maybe Genkai. I don't know. Suggest a song and the character you want me to write about. Thank you!
