Extinct Lyrics

Glenn Tipton

I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Don't write me off
Or even think
I don't exist
I'm not extinct
I stand alone in many ways
Evolving from a different race
I have a name I have a face
And I'm still breathing
Endangered species are it's said
A little rare - I'm not dead yet
Don't strike me off your list just yet
Cos I'm still breeding
Gone but not for good and you bet
I'll resurrect again
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Don't write me off
Or even think
I don't exist
I'm 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 I'm still living
Invisible to many eyes
It may then come as some surprise
Re-energised I will arise
Hey! I'm not finished
Gone but not for good and you bet
I'll resurrect again
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Don't write me off
Or even think
I don't exist
I'm not extinct
I won't fade away
I'm staying
I refuse to be endangered
I'll protect my reputation
That of living not forgetting
I am indestructible
I'm made like you of flesh and blood
I'm not a fossil etched in stone
I am alive I'm not alone
Prehistoric I never was
I'm made like you of flesh and blood
Unlike the dinosaur I'm 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 won't get damaged"
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Don't write me off
Or even think
I don't exist
I'm not extinct
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Don't write me off
Or even think
I don't exist
I'm not extinct
I am alive
Not on the brink
But people think
I am extinct
Don't write me off
Or even think
I don't exist
I'm not extinct
