The Living Proof

It's gonna be a long, long journey

It's gonna be an uphill climb

It's gonna be a tough fight

It's gonna be some lonely nights

But I'm ready to carry on.

I'm so glad the worst is over 'cause it almost took me down

I can start living now

I feel like I can do anything, yeah

And finally I'm not afraid to breathe.

Anything you say to me,

And everything you do,

You can't deny the truth,

'Cause I'm the living proof!

So many don't survive,

They just don't make it through

But look at me

I'm the living proof! Oh, yes I am.

Thinking 'bout life's been painful. Yes it was.

Took a lot to learn how to smile,

So now I am gonna talk to my people about the storm -- about the storm.

Oh, so glad the worst is over 'cause it almost took me down

I can start flying now

My best days are right in front of me

And I'm almost there

'Cause now I'm free!

Anything you say to me

And everything you do

You can't deny the truth

'Cause I'm the living proof.

So many don't survive.

They just don't make it through.

But look at me

I'm the living proof!

I know where I'm going

'Cause I know where I've been

I'm gonna feel strong, that's showin'

I'm gonna be strong, keep growin'

That's the way that I will.

Anything you say to me

And everything you do

You can't deny the truth

'Cause I'm the living proof.

So many don't survive,

They just don't make it through

But look at me - yeah yeah

I'm the living proof!

Nothing about my life has been easy, no.

But nothin's gonna keep me down, no - down.

'Cause I know a lot more today

Than I knew yesterday, now

So, I'm ready to carry on,

Oh, Lordy. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmm
