just living day to day doesn’t seem to suffice
as i travel down the road of life
but about my pain i have no gripes
cause nothing can stop my soul from taking flight

nothing can snatch me from His loving arms
not the raging winds of the storm
not the enemies that plot me harm
not the rocky mountains that block my way
not the coldest night, not the hottest day
not the narrow path that aint so straight
not the prolonging of my graduation date
not the unexpected birth of my daughter
not the rigorous task of being a father
not the balancing of school, work and life
not starting over and over again till i get it right

you see i’ve come too far on my walk
too many battles have I fought
some i won and some i’ve lost
but through them all I paid the cost
and through the pain i’ve dared to dream
so i still feel that this life owes me some things
and you best believe by any means
i’ll get it all....everything

i look forward to tomorrow
bring it joy or bring it sorrow
life is for the living, not the dead
so i do not fear what lies ahead
i do not regret what has already been
i can’t go back and do it again
all i can do is live right now
and wipe the sweat from my brow

i’m pressing forward towards the mark
so strengthen Lord my wavering heart
i’ll make it through the tribulations and trials
so long as you give me the strength to smile
so long as you help me bare my cross
i’ll reach out to save the lost
i’ll give my life in your name
so long as my giving aint in vain

people out here depend on me
and for them i’ll leave a legacy
this life wont get the best of me
i’m going to fulfill my destiny

to the fullest i’ll live this this
come the pain come, come the strife
i give my all, i’ll give my best
perfection can be a painful process
