I'm Alive...and Well

So I'm in love with this new song by Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews. I heard it for the first time the other day and actually listened to the lyrics and was totally lovin' em. Such a reality check...a much needed reality check.

So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I'm alive and well...
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me...I'm alive

And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathin' in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life and I'm alive
And well...I'm alive and well

The stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's gonna fall a soul when there's not a soul in sight
This boat has caught its wind and brought me back to life now I'm alive and well

And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathin' in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life and I'm alive
And well...I'm alive and well


Quote of the day: “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

I love these two together. The song/lyrics in general are just amazing. I love Dave and Kenny on their own, but together they are phenomenal! Great message, too.
