I thank the boy who kicked my ass when I was 17
I thank tho one who choose to laugh and those who acted mean
I thank the bullies for body slams and accidents and then some
They shaped my life, they made me like who I've become
I thank the girls that gave their hands and showed me how to dance
I thank the one who laughed and passed and never gave a second chance
I learned that it's okay for some to go and some to stay
They shaped my life and 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 pave the road I'm traveling on
They shaped my life, they took me down the path I've gone
I thank the volunteers for giving up their time for free
I thank the engineers or those who keep our water clean
I thank the janitors for all their years behind the scenes
They shaped my life, they let me see who I could be
So, I know life is good
I thank the galaxy for how it made up gravity
I thank the sky above for ocean clouds that float on top of me
They gave me air to breathe and they gave me rain and they gave 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 micro-organisms under every tree
I thank the fertile 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 shaped my life, you make me love who I am today...
