This is Life

I’ve walked through quiet mornings

And nights that wouldn’t end

Felt the weight of empty silence

And the warmth of a true friend

I’ve held onto the laughter

And cried when no one saw

Tried to make some sense of it

But life don’t follow laws

It’s a road that twists and turns

Sometimes it heals, sometimes it burns

But every scar and every line

Tells the story of this life of mine

This life, it’s a wild ride

A million tears, a thousand highs

It breaks your heart, then makes it whole

It steals your breath, then feeds your soul

We fall, we fly, we learn to shine

In this crazy, beautiful, fleeting time

This life of mine, this life of mine

I’ve made mistakes I needed

To become who I became

Loved people I still carry

Though they never stayed the same

I’ve chased the stars at midnight

And stood still in the rain

Some days I felt like dancing

Some just numb with pain

But I keep walking, come what may

Trying to find the words to say

That even through the worst of nights

I’ve never stopped holding on tight

‘Cause this life, it’s a wild ride

A million tears, a thousand highs

It breaks your heart, then makes it whole

It steals your breath, then feeds your soul

We fall, we fly, we learn to shine

In this crazy, beautiful, fleeting time

This life of mine, this life of mine

And when the curtain starts to close

I’ll smile at everything I chose

The wins, the wounds, the in-betweens

All part of what this life has been

Yeah, this life, it’s a wild ride

A mess of wrongs, a burst of right

It cuts you deep, then makes you grow

It keeps you guessing, but helps you know

That even in the darkest times

There’s light inside this life of mine

This life of mine…
