"Acknowledge" lyrics

I am alive
I am here, I am now
I acknowledge the fact of my life
I am alive
Breathing, walking, and smiling
Acknowledge the fact of my life

There's a world, there's a world
There's a big, big world out there
Time that I stepped in
'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending that I don't really give a shit
There was guilt and shame, there was fear and hate
But I know it's finally time
To appreciate the perfection of all life

I am alive
I am here, I am now
I acknowledge the fact of my life
I am alive
Breathing, walking, and smiling
Acknowledge the fact of my life

All the times and places and time I'd wasted
I learned the hard way, and ever since
When I look forward and back
Well, I just gotta laugh
'Cause it hits like a ton of bricks
I laid down on the ground, and I looked around
And I saw a miracle
I appreciate the simple beauty of the world

I am alive
I am here, I am now
I acknowledge the fact of my life
I am alive
Breathing, walking, and smiling
Acknowledge the fact of my life

It came to me like a bullet to the heart
But it was there in front of me all along
So obvious
The only meaning of life is life itself
I'm not controlled by anybody else
I must get out of my way
Get out of my own way

Because I am alive
I am here, I am now
I acknowledge the fact of my life
I am alive
Breathing, walking, and smiling
Acknowledge the fact of my life

I am alive
I am alive
I am alive
I am alive
I am alive
I am alive
