I thank the boy who kicked my ass when I was 17 I thank the ones who chose to laugh and those who acted mean I thank the bullies for all their scraps and accidents and then some They shaped my life; they made me like who I've become
I thank the girls who gave their hand and showed me how to dance I thank the ones who laughed and passed and never gave a second glance I learned that it's okay for some to go and some to stay They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today And I... I know that life is good
I thank the captains of the boats who brave the sea I thank the farmers for the sowing of the seeds I thank the men who paved the roads I'm travelling on They shaped my life, they took me down the paths I've gone(2x)
I thank the volunteers for giving up their time for free I thank the engineers; all those who keep our water clean I thank the janitors for all their years behind the scenes They shaped my life they taught me generosity They shaped my life they let me see who I could be
So I... I know, life is good
I thank the galaxy for how we're made of gravity. I thank the sky above for hosting clouds to float on top of me. They gave me air to breathe and they give me rain, they give me snow. They shaped my life; they gave me so much room to grow
I thank the frogs and daddy long legs and the bees I thank the microorganisms under every tree I thank the fertil soil for the life behind the food I eat They shaped my life, they gave me possibility
And I.. I know that life is good Yes I... I Know
I thank the boy who kicked my ass when I was 17 I thank the ones who laughed and those who acted mean I thank the bullies for all the names they called along the way They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today
You shape my life. You make me love who I am today.
