As I turn out the light and bow my head to pray

The answered prayer I'm thankful for

Is I made it through today



Well her leavin' took its toll on me

And it took a lot of faith

To find the strength to carry on

But I made it through today



Oh I was guilty of takin' her heart for granted

Lettin' love slip through my hands 

'Til I was empty-handed

And now I know how much I have and I ain't gonna lose it

'Cause I've been given a second chance

And I intend to use it



I'm not tryin' to change the world

I'm just tryin' to find my way

And I still stumble now and then

But I made it through today



Whoa I was guilty of takin' this life for granted

Lettin' time slip through my hands

'Til I was empty-handed

Now I know how much I have and I ain't gonna lose it

'Cause I've been given a second chance

And I intend to use it



As I turn out the light and bow my head to pray

The answered prayer I'm thankful for

Is I made it through today

Mmm-mmm I made it through today

Mmm-mmm I made it through today

Mm-hmm mm-hmm
