Glenn Tipton

I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Dont write me off
Or even think
I dont exist
Im not extinct
I stand alone in many ways
Evolving from a different race
I have a name I have a face
And Im still breathing
Endangered species are its said
A little rare - Im not dead yet
Dont strike me off your list just yet
Cos Im still breeding
Gone but not for good and you bet
Ill resurrect again
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Dont write me off
Or even think
I dont exist
Im not extinct
One of a kind but I am not
Just a statistic in your book
There may be just a few of us
But Im still living
Invisible to many eyes
It may then come as some surprise
Re-energised I will arise
Hey! Im not finished
Gone but not for good and you bet
Ill resurrect again
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Dont write me off
Or even think
I dont exist
Im not extinct
I wont fade away
Im staying
I refuse to be endangered
Ill protect my reputation
That of living not forgetting
I am indestructible
Im made like you of flesh and blood
Im not a fossil etched in stone
I am alive Im not alone
Prehistoric I never was
Im made like you of flesh and blood
Unlike the dinosaur Im not
About to perish
I walk this earth
Alongside God
I asked "Man am I done?"
He looked at me
He said "Live on
You wont get damaged"
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Dont write me off
Or even think
I dont exist
Im not extinct
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Dont write me off
Or even think
I dont exist
Im not extinct
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Dont write me off
Or even think
I dont exist
Im not extinct
