today I am alive

I am frightened
I am worried
I cannot believe my eyes
I'm forsaken
I'm still waiting
for someday to be wise
I'm still hurting
I know for certain
it's just by instinct I survive
today I'm here
today I am alive

I don't feel bad
I approach happy
once in a great while
it don't matter
my inside chatter
that goes on a country mile
all my ideas
they're wanting me
to try them on for size
but for today I'm here
today I am alive

don't ever worry
about me
I'll always be okay
it's true
I'm forever blue
here on life's highway
they say the darkest hour
is just before dawn
I say the sun's about to rise
because today I'm here
today I am alive
