I open my eyes, each morning I rise
To find the truth I know that is there
I'm lucky to breathe, I'm lucky to feel,
I'm glad to wake up, I'm glad to be here
With all of this world, and all of it's pain,
All of it's lies, and all of its let downs
I still feel a sense of freedom
It's my freedom, can't take it from me
But, we need some understanding,
The day I am gone, and the day that I leave
I'll never regret one minute of life
I've learned from the joy, I've learned from the tears
I've walked through the dark, now I seen a light
In every state of every land,
Has every thing to be thankful for
'Cause you wait on me, so I wait on you
I open my eyes, each morning I rise
To find the truth I know that is there
I can't tell you how, you can't tell me why
But living my life is all that I care
The burden can be, sometimes, bigger than me,
Sometimes, stronger than me, and hard to bear
But I couldn't care less, no stress 'cause
'Cause you wait on me - so I wait on you
