Lucky To Be Here

(album: Home - 1995)

All my life has been a show that never ends
Made a lot of music and I've made a lot of friends
I've got two children but I've never had a wife
Don't mean to bore you with the story of my life

I've been criticized for all the things I've done
But I must admit that I did it all in fun
The Lord has blessed me with a song a day to sing
It's been a long hard road but I wouldn't change a thing

And oh
I'm just lucky to be here
I can't believe I got this far
And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear
I'm sorry
But I thought I saw my dream

There's been so much that I've learned along the way
I learned that love is color blind and how to pray
And that emotions were controlled from deep inside
But what I learned the most was how to swallow pride

Oh, I'm just lucky to be here
I can't believe I got this far
And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear
I'm sorry
But I thought I saw my dream
Oh, I'm just lucky to be here
I'd gladly stay a thousand years
Breathe your love into this union of souls
And I'll just write the words
