Verse 1

A quiet Sunday like any other, I sent the kids down to play

They love the beach and the sand and turtles,

Sometimes they'll be there all day

It turned out this was the wrong decision, that day they would not survive

All I have left are my tears and heartache,

It's how I Know I'm Alive

Chorus

Waves flow, Winds blow, They don't seem to mind

Their destruction complete with my world at my feet and I can't believe my eyes

(in) One flash, Seas crash, No one's home will stand

At the end of the day, I am making my way through the rubble of this land.

Verse 2

My little daughter had just turned seven, my sons were fourteen and ten

I cant get over the pain of knowing,

I'll never see them again

I should have had some control, some warning. Who knew this grief would arrive?

My head is spinning with things I should of

It's how I Know I'm Alive

[Chorus]

Verse 3

Like any parent that loves their children, I hoped my family would thrive

What I have now are regrets and memories,

It's how I Know I'm Alive
