Somehow I Am Still Here

I remember starting out with nothing
and I’ve still got most of it now
I never had everything that I needed
But I always found a way somehow
I raced down the road like it would never end
And I never had any doubts
In those days I never thought ahead
I was just living for the here and the now

I was always swinging for the fences
I turned my head and took my eyes off of the ball
I never gave a thought to how much I had to lose
I just knew that I would answer the call
Another day, another dollar, another month, another year
And by a miracle, somehow I am still here

I was reckless, now I’m damaged and I didn’t understand
that the things mattered most were already in my hands
I was feeling pretty low, life was getting me down
I was searching for answers where they’d never be found
It was the love of my family and friends
that finally lifted me out in the end
It was the power of prayer and having people who cared
That brought me back from the brink of despair

Now I’m not swinging for the fences anymore
I’m just keeping my eyes on the ball
Sometimes I keep going, when I don’t think I can-and I have faith
and I have faith that I am not going to fall
I am back for another day, maybe I’m back for another year
By the grace of God, somehow I am still here

I am back for another day, maybe I’m back for another year
By the grace of God, somehow I am still here

I am back for another day, yeah
By the grace of God , somehow I am still here
