Chapter 12: Alive
Previously
-"Please give it up for our very own...Dangerous Work!"
-The band ran out on stage. Mike went to his drum set, Thomas to his keyboard, Odd ran to his backup microphone carrying his guitar, and Ulrich walked up to the microphone at center stage, carrying his bass guitar along with him.
-"Let's get this party really started...but...maybe We've Had Enough!"
-Guess the teachers were just too proud to be educating future stars
>They ended the song. The crowd cheered loud. The students always seemed to enjoy their performances.
-----5:56pm Saturday-----
"Thanks guys!" Ulrich said into the microphone as the cheering crowd calmed. The band started up the next song and the students cheered once again.
As soon as the intro to the song was coming to an end, Ulrich was at the microphone, ready for the first verse of Alive by P.O.D.
Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted
I won't take it for granted
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control, sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind
Ulrich looked out at the crowd, but couldn't make out any faces.
I, I feel so alive
for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive
I feel so alive
for the very first time
for the very first time
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face
Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this, so beyond, I can't hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
I can never look away
Again, Ulrich looked out into the ocean of students. He didn't know where she was, but he knew she caught on.
I, I feel so alive
for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive,
I feel so alive
for the very first time
for the very first time
And I think I can fly
Now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you
I could never look away
Odd joined Ulrich for the repetition of the bridge.
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, I feel so alive
for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive,
I feel so alive
for the very first time
for the very first time
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive
I feel so alive
for the very first time
for the very first time
for the very first time
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive
I feel so alive
for the very first time
for the very first time
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
Odd finished the last lines of the song. He looked over at Ulrich as the last measure of the song was flared out. Ulrich caught his eye for a moment and looked back out at the crowd. Odd knew. He knew that Ulrich had that song directed to someone. Directed to Yumi.
