Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It's so damn easy to say that life's so hard Everybody's got their share of battle scars As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars That I'm alive and well And it'd be easy to add up all the pain And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames You were on, on their wreckage as it smolders in the rain But not me, I'm alive And today you know that's good enough for me Breathing in and outs a blessing, cant you see? Today is the first day of the rest of my life And I'm alive and well, God, I'm alive and well Stars are dancing on the water here tonight It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight This boat has caught its wind and brought me back to life Now I'm alive and well And today you know that's good enough for me Breathing in and outs a blessing, cant you see? Today is the first day of the rest of my life And I'm alive and well, God, I'm alive and well
