Madonna· Soundbite0:11

I'm in the sky where I oughta be at. I've been watching you. Rocket ship taking off in that. Now I'm onto you. Mouth closed, I don't want your opinion. Who you talking to? Stand out, no, I don't wanna blend in. Why you want me to? They see me, they like it me and all I want is peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace. See the world, have a seat and all I wanna see is, see is, see is, see is, see is dreams. Come alive, come alive. Come alive, come alive. Dreams real, it's alive. Come alive, come a- alive.

Madonna· Soundbite1:14

[upbeat music] I have a song called Come Alive. That was inspired by music of North Africa. It's called Gnawa. I listened to that a lot, and what I loved the most about the music was the percussion instruments
