Woke up today
Got a smile on my face
Feeling good to be alive
With a little bit of style
And a whole lot of grace
Breathe in, breathe out
I just wanna slow down
Cause in the blink of an eye
This could all be gone
Don't want to miss right now
It's easy to forget about today
But I won't let it slip away
I am thankful
Thankful to be alive
I am grateful
To know that you're on my side
When fear's knocking on my door
I know I'm gonna be alright
Cause you are faithful
And I'm thankful to be alive
Watch the headline news
Yeah, we all gotta choose
How we're gonna see the world
If we open up our eyes
We'll see the good things too
Yeah we all got scars
That only love can mend
And it's a brand new day
Every breath is a chance to start again
I am thankful
Thankful to be alive
I am grateful
To know that you're on my side
When fear's knocking on my door
I know I'm gonna be alright
Cause you are faithful
And I'm thankful to be alive
Yeah you gotta keep your head up
And don't ever look down
Cause in the blink of an eye
This could all be gone
Don't want to miss right now
Yeah you gotta keep your head up
Have a littlebit of faith
Yeah you gotta keep your head up
Keep your head up
I am thankful
Thankful to be alive
I am grateful
To know that you're on my side
When fear's knocking on my door
I know I'm gonna be alright
Cause you are faithful
And I'm thankful to be alive
I'm thankful to be alive
I'm thankful to be alive
Yeah you gotta keep your head up
Have a little bit of faith
Yeah you gotta keep your head up
