(Verse 1)
My body aches, fingers go numb,
Back is sore, knees won’t run.
Bills keep piling, work’s a grind,
But little joys help ease my mind.
I can fix a house, a car, a truck,
Pretty much anything with a little luck.
(Pre-Chorus)
But when it comes to me, it don’t seem fair,
I can’t fix the pain that’s living there.
(Chorus)
If I could fix what’s broken, turn the hurt to right,
Tighten every bolt, make it hold tonight.
I might not be rich, but I’ve still got light,
Kind hearts and warm hands — thankful I’m alive.
(Verse 2)
Tired of mornings, that alarm clock’s sound,
Dreamin’ of a place where peace is found.
Some fight addiction, some battle the storm,
Some face the cold with no place warm.
Single parents struggling, veterans far from home,
People feeling lost, trying not to roam.
But love in this world keeps me strong inside,
Through all the struggle, I’m still alive.
(Chorus)
If I could fix what’s broken, turn the hurt to right,
Tighten every bolt, make it hold tonight.
I might not be rich, but I’ve still got light,
A sunrise every day — thankful I’m alive.
(Bridge)
I see people hurting, losing their way,
Fighting through the darkness of a terrible day.
Some got no home, some can’t make rent,
Some cry alone, wonder where hope went.
Some face illness, some lost a friend,
Some start over, around the bend.
That’s why I’m thankful for all I have.
(Chorus – Final)
If I could fix what’s broken, turn the hurt to right,
Tighten every bolt, make it hold tonight.
I might not be rich, but I’ve still got light,
Hope that keeps me strong — thankful I’m alive.
