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     [Written and Arranged Glenn Tipton (c 1996 EMI Songs Ltd., ASCAP)]
