It's 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 

And it'd be easy to add up all the pain 
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames 
You were on, on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain 
But not me, I'm alive 

And today you know that's good enough for me 
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see? 
Today is the first day of the rest of my life 
And I'm alive and well, God, I'm alive and well 

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 it's wind and brought me back to life 
Now I'm alive and well 

And today you know that's good enough for me 
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see? 
Today is the first day of the rest of my life 
And I'm alive and well, God, I'm alive and well
