Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. I look up at the stars at nightAnd watch them as they glowI see the moon up in the skyAnd feel like I am homeAll the beauty all aroundGets me every timeAnd I feel so grateful in my heartIt’s good to be alive
2. Surrounded by the ones I loveIt’s like nothing could go wrongHere with my family and my friendsI’m right here I belongAll the people in my worldMake the sun more brightAnd I feel so grateful in my heartIt’s good to be alive
Though there are times that try my faithAnd bring me to my kneesNo matter what whatever I’ve gotIs exactly what I need
3. So I count my blessings one by oneAnd I can’t help but smile’Cause I’ve had help along the wayWith every single mileAnd I know that it only gets betterAs I look to the skyAnd I feel so grateful in my heartIt’s good to be alive
La la la la la la laLa la la la la laLa la la la la la laLa la la la la laThough there are times that try my faithAnd bring me to my kneesNo matter what whatever I’ve gotIs exactly what I need
4. So I count my blessings one by oneAnd I can’t help but smile’Cause I’ve had help along the wayWith every single mileAnd I know that it only gets betterAs I look to the skyAnd I feel so grateful in my heartIt’s good to be aliveAnd I feel so grateful in my heartIt’s good to be alive
