Its been a while, I've been through dark times but I've found the light
The haters wanna knock me down but I rise and reach new heights
And now I've gotten closer to those I've never spoken to
This time they won't be fake but only true
My life has been so hectic I've been through it all
I've bounced everywhere I've been kicked around like a ball
I'm thankful for meeting her, the girl I didn't think
I would ever talk to, the girl who doesn't need a drink
I'm happy I never killed myself I'm happy I lived this life
And it still doesn't matter how much pain or strife
That I've been put through, it was just a trial for me to overcome
My battle's still going on but I'm at the top I've already won
I realized life was just to good to leave it behind so soon
Ever since I came out the darkness my problems flew away on a hot air balloon
Today I live in happiness, said bye to anger and depression
This is the life that I live and I'm gonna continue this session
I took a dive took a few hits and thought suicide was my only ticket
But I'm thankful for who I am just to be alive because this is Life Today As I Know It
