v1:
Why did life choose to be so good to me?
Cut some others at the knees
It don't seem fair
-----
Oh, I've tried to sabotage it all
Occasionally I'll fall
But those times are pretty rare
pre:
And last I checked, I've got my health
They say that's more than anything else
v2:
I know some who've got to work for everything
Like they're fighting in the ring
for daily bread
-----
But this race I run, you know I had a head start
I ain't sayin' I don't work hard
I get to use my heart more than my head
pre:
You all know that I can't dance
But I'm the king of second chances
ch:
Everywhere I go
I go there always knowing I'm not alone
While others all around me sink like a stone
I somehow find my way back home
v3:
So now you know that I'm lucky, I'm not blessed
I'm no better than the rest
That's just how it is
-----
I can't explain what God has chosen to throw my way
More than my share of good days
So let me tell you this
pre:
I'll try to give more than receive
And that's because I believe
ch:
Everywhere I go
I go there always knowing I'm not alone
While others all around me sink like a stone
I somehow find my way
ch:
Everywhere I go
I go there always knowing I'm not alone
While others all around me sink like a stone
I finally found my way back home
