[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wake up and forget I’m blessed
Complainin’ ’bout things that ain’t even stress
Got what I prayed for then start whining
Act like the sunshine ain’t still shining
Life is good but I forget that quick
Spoiled by blessings I never thought I’d get
I gotta slow down, breathe deep and see
Life’s better than I let it be
[Chorus]
So why me
Why do I get blessings then question everything
Why do I forget how far I’ve come
Act like life owes me something
Yeah why me
Why do I take for granted the breath in my lungs
The people I love, the sun in the sky
Sometimes I forget I’m alive
But I wanna live thankfully
Before life reminds me how lucky I am
To just be
[Verse 2]
We rush through days like we guaranteed
Forget every heartbeat’s a gift we receive
We get one shot, one life, one try
So why waste time askin’ why why why
Every laugh every tear every fall every climb
It’s all part of livin’, part of feelin’ alive
So I’m tryna learn to love what’s real
And stop complainin’ ’bout the way I feel
[Chorus]
So why me
Why do I get blessings then question everything
Why do I forget how far I’ve come
Act like life owes me something
Yeah why me
Why do I take for granted the breath in my lungs
The people I love, the sun in the sky
Sometimes I forget I’m alive
But I wanna live thankfully
Before life reminds me how lucky I am
To just be
[Bridge]
Count your blessings
One by one
Life’s too short
It’s already begun
Count your blessings
Feel the light
You here now
You alive
[Final Chorus]
So why me
Why do I get blessings then question everything
Why do I forget how far I’ve come
Act like life owes me something
Yeah why me
Why do I take for granted the breath in my lungs
The people I love, the sun in the sky
Sometimes I forget I’m alive
But I wanna live thankfully
Before life reminds me how lucky I am
To just be
