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

Yeah, I'm alive and well. Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight

It's good for the soul and 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's the first day of the rest of my life

And I'm alive and well

Yeah, I'm alive and well.
