[Verso 1]
Oooh, I'm so happy that I'm living my life
I never knew what I went through but hoped everything'd turn out right
I'm remembering the days that I was holding my head down
When people came around, I always pretended to smile
But I knew deep in my heart
That I was slowly falling apart
Some days, all I wanted w as to hold my mother's hand
And hear her say, "Baby, you're gonna make it" over and over again
So I...
[Coro]
And I been living my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
And nothing gonna bring me back down
And nothing gonna turn me around
And I been living my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
And nothing gonna bring me back down
And nothing gonna turn me around
[Verso 2]
Don't want nobody to think it was easy for me
It took a while just to get down and too many people just didn't believe
I'm remembering the sacrifices that I had to make
I would cry myself to sleep and say that it would be okay
But I knew that if I prayed
That I would be on my way someday
Sometimes, all I wanted was to hear my father say
He would say, "Baby, you're gonna make it and I don't care what people say"
So I...
[Coro]
And I been living my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
And nothing gonna bring me back down
And nothing gonna turn me around
And I been living my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
And nothing gonna bring me back down
And nothing gonna turn me around
[Puente]
All I want the world to see
Everything that's happened to me
I went from going out my mind
To always on time
And I am no longer a fool
Since my days are cold without you
And I'm so happy, baby, baby, babe
Said, I'm so happy, baby, baby, babe
[Coro]
And I been living my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
And nothing gonna bring me back down
And nothing gonna turn me around
And I been living my life for quite some time
And I'm so glad I made it this far
And nothing gonna bring me back down
And nothing gonna turn me around
