VERSE1
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
VERSE2
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watched go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive

VERSE3
Stars are dancin' 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

Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
