Some days I wake up with tears in my eyes,
Thinkin’ ’bout the roads I barely survived.
I’ve carried heartbreak, I’ve carried doubt,
But somehow this life still worked itself out.
And I’m forever grateful for the life I’m livin’,
For every second chance that I’ve been given.
For the nights I cried and the dawns that healed me,
For the love that stayed when the world tried to steal me.
Yeah, I’m forever grateful for the life I’m livin’.
I’ve lost a few people I wish were still here,
Their voices echo in the quietest years.
But I feel them with me in the soft wind blowin’,
In the strength I found without even knowin’.
And I’m forever grateful for the life I’m livin’,
For every broken piece that turned to wisdom.
For the prayers I whispered when I felt so small,
And the grace that caught me before I could fall.
Yeah, I’m forever grateful for the life I’m livin’.
If the road gets rough, I’ll keep on tryin’,
’Cause every scar I’ve earned means I’m still survivin’.
And if tomorrow fades before I’m ready,
I’ll hold this moment close, my heart steady.
I’m forever grateful for the life I’m livin’,
For the love I’ve found and the hope I’m givin’.
For the quiet nights when my soul feels light—
Yeah, this life is a gift, and it’s shining bright.
