Today I am alive
because of that love that you gave.
You fought to keep me here
to show me I had a place.
To give me something special
that I had felt I wasn't worth.
You loved me for whatever reason
you saw in me more than dirt.
I am alive today
because you believed in who I was.
You fought for me the hardest
believing just because.
You gave me reason to wake up
to try to live each day.
I am alive now because of you
and the friendship that you gave.
Life was cold and lonely
before you came along.
You showed me it could be more
It wasn't always wrong.
Today I am alive
and living like I should.
You believed in me and loved me
you showed me life was good.
