Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage, as it smoulders in the rain
But not me, I'm alive
[Chorus]
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life and I'm alive
And well, I'm alive and well
[Verse 2]
The stars are dancing 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
[Chorus]
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life, now I'm alive
And well, yeah I'm alive and well
