[Verse 1: Chesney]
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 smolders 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: Dave Matthews]
The stars are dancing on the water here tonight
It's gonna fall a 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 and I'm alive
And well, I'm alive and well
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 smolders 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: Dave Matthews]
The stars are dancing on the water here tonight
It's gonna fall a 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 and I'm alive
And well, I'm alive and well
