It’s Good To Be Alive

[Verse 1]
Trouble by the pound
Smile upside down
Future unknown
Out here on my own
But it's good to be alive
Nice to breathe
And somehow I, I will survive
Mhm, mhm

[Verse 2]
When it rains it pours
Lately closed doors, mm
Rain brings me pain
But I'll carry on the same
Oh, it's good to be alive, oh-ho-ho
Nice to breathe
And somehow I will survive

[Chorus]
Ain't it good, to be alive
Ain't it good, to be alive
Ain't it good, to be alive
Ain't it good, to be alive
Good to be alive
Nice to breathe
And somehow you and I will survive

[Verse 3]
Old man fate
Gave me an empty plate (yes he did)
No soup for my spoon
Gotta get better soon
'Cause it's good to be alive
Nice to breathe
And somehow, the whole world will survive
Mhm, mhm

[Verse 4]
Trying to be a man
Lord, help me stand
Take my dreams out the sand
It's mighty good to be alive - hey, hey, hey!
Through it all (through it all)
I had a ball (yes I did)
When my name is called (mhm)
And they asked how I survived
I'll just say it was good to be alive - hey, hey, hey!

[Verse 5]
Trying to be a man (yes I am)
I wanna stand (mmm)
Lift my dreams out the sand
Cause it's sho' good to be alive
Oh, it's good (it's good to be alive)
Tell the world it's good, yeah (it's good to be alive)
It's good, ooh! Ooh! Listen here...

[Verse 6]
Depression, recession, yeah
Life is still a blessing, mm
It's good, yes it is (it's good to be alive)
One more thang:
Rick man wearing silk
Babies ain't got no milk
It's still good (it's good to be alive)
Oh, it's good (it's good to be alive)

[Verse 7]
Wake up in the morning (yes you do)
Gotta go to your slave
You ought to be grateful
Some folk in the grave
It's good, good (it's good to be alive)
Oh, it's good (it's good to be alive)
Oh, it's good (it's good to be alive), listen...

[Verse 8]
My bills, real tall
My money, real small
No need to worry
Some folk ain't got no money at all
It's good, good (it's good to be alive)
I know it's good, yeah (it's good to be alive)
Oh, oh, good... (it's good to be alive)
