Who cares if we were young once? Who wasn’t?
Of course we’re getting older now — who doesn’t?
Only question left is what comes of it
Only way to know is to have done it
It’s all I really need

What if we only live once? What then?
Where would we be going? Where have we been?
What could really matter but loving
Every single minute with the half dozen?
It’s all I really need
I have all I really need

Oh, to be alive under the stars!
Oh, to be alive among the stars!

Nothing’s quite the same now, and we know it
Only thing to do now is run toward it
Deep inside the dark where we look for it
Deep inside ourselves where we unfold it
It’s all I really need
All I really need

Oh, to be alive under the stars!
Oh, to be alive among the stars!
