Lyrics

I'm learning how to cope
With heaven calling you home
And we try to be strong
With all this going on
We'll just try to keep trying, I suppose
Confused how to deal with this
It's kinda messed if I'm being real with ya
And we try to get by, try to get by
But it's hard to disguise how we feel

But you pray to God in the evening
You're grateful that you see another day
And even though your heart is grieving
Still you bow your head and say

"I don't wanna live life jaded
Don't wanna waste my time feeling victimized
Reminded in my darkest moments
To thank God I'm alive"

I'm learning how to grieve
It's been a couple days since you had to leave
And I can't comprehend
I won't see you again
In this life, in this reality
I'm not sure how to deal with this
I find it hard trying to find peace with it
And thoughts run through my head
As we lay you to rest
I remember the time when you said

To pray to God in the evening
Be grateful that I see another day
Reminded in my darkest moments
To thank God I'm alive

Reminded in my darkest moments
To thank God I'm
Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive
Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

Did heaven tell you mom?
I'm gonna have a son
And I'll be a good dad
He'll have love like I had
And I promise one day to teach him

To never go and live life jaded
Don't waste your precious time feeling victimized
Remember in your darkest moments
To thank God we're alive

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive
Thank God I'm
Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive
I thank God
No I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live jaded
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live jaded
