another day above ground

Woke up to the ceiling

Like it owed me an apology

Took one breath,

then another

Yeah, I'm still here somehow

Woke up with the dawn in

my eyes Stiff joints,

same old ache

Coffee gone cold on the counter

But I'm still hard to break

I heard that bad luck knockin'

Like it had a date with

me

I laughed, said,

"Keep on walkin'" I got another

day to breathe

Another day above ground

Another scar, another round Life keeps

swingin',

I keep standin' Ain't no use

in countin' me out Another day

above ground

Still got a heartbeat loud and

proud If the road gets rough,

I keep on rollin'

Another day above ground

Seen hard times wear a cruel

face

Seen friends fall through the floor

Seen the kind of dark that

makes you Swear you're not takin'

anymore

But I learned that pain can

teach you

How to stand a little straighter

And every bruise becomes a story

That you tell yourself later

Another day above ground

Another scar, another round

Life keeps swingin',

I keep standin'

Ain't no use in countin' me

out Another day above ground

Still got a heartbeat loud and

proud If the road gets rough,

I keep on rollin'

Another day above ground

If tomorrow comes meaner than today

I'll meet it with my boots

on

I've been knocked down sure as

rain

But I ain't stayed down long

Another day above ground

Another scar, another round

Life keeps swingin',

I keep standin'

Ain't no use in countin' me

out Another day above ground

Still got a heartbeat loud and

proud So raise one up and

sing it with me

Another day above ground

Yeah, I'm still here

Another day above ground
