Thank God, I'm alive

Thank God I'm alive
i'm breathing
yet for the first time in a while I'm smiling
and i'm seeing the bigger picture

I realize now why we had to break up
that it was meant to be
so that i could appreciate you
the way i do tonite

i wasn't expecting this
this morning, i thought my world was shattered
my tears fell to the floor
and i begged god to deliver me

he did just that
he made things happen
he made me smile
and he took all my pain away with one quick action

the day started off slow
but with a twist of fate
he called
and to hear his voice my heart sailed the endless, happy sea

once all of us made plans
i knew things would be okay
i dressed up
tried to look my best

i put a smile on my face
and told myself how wonderful i was
and i prayed that we could reignite our spark
that our hearts could touch

As soon as i thought the evening was over
a twist of fate occured
we went to a movie
we went for coffee

it seemed endles
i was enveloped in your laughter
drunk off your eyes, your smile
i felt like we were together again

every thing you felt
i felt, too
everything you said, i said too
i was so close to you, and that made my heart soar

I know you felt the same way
you looked at me, when you thought i wasn't looking
but i was
we are meant to be, tonite proved it to me

i will not be so intense
but i'm not letting you go
i know you longed to kiss me
but i can happily settle for a hug

with a slight gesture
you lifted my spirits up
you make me so happy
the next time around, i will appreciate you

you are the greatest man alive
and i was so lucky to have you
but right now, i'm fortunate to have you as my friend
then you said i'll call you tomorrow

i live for your calls
i breathe for your hugs
and my body longs for a kiss
i know this time that when we unite..i won't take anything for granted

we were meant to be
but i didn't know it
until now
how sad

i took you for granted, you took me for granted
but you were right
through pain comes happiness
and whenever i experience storms within myself, life brings me sunshine soon after

bad feelings pass
doubts subside
and through the clouds
you are my sunshine, to bring me through anything

i can't wait to see where our path leads
thanks for letting your wall down
for the slight touch
meant more than the world to me

did you know
i saw on your face that you were struck by lightening
thank god, i'm alive
that i didn't give up when the chips were down

today i thought i was going to die
that i would never make it through
i felt lied to, when i heard to let go
to believe that what's meant to happen will happen

i will be flying high for sometime now
please don't let this good fortune go away
be with me, love me, thanks for the chance
don't get scared and run

for now, i will play it cool
i feel your lips getting closer to mine
and i'm excited
because of the future that will be ours

thank god i'm alive
to have this day with you
to laugh with you
and to know that you still love me

you say actions speak louder than words
we are connected
and our laughter fed our love
thank god i'm alive, thank god i'm me, and thank god you're you

thank you god for arranging things for us
thank god for you
and thank you for giving me a chance
i promise you won't be disappointed, from today forward i will NEVER doubt you, and i WILL get better
