A Life I Never Had

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2002 Moockshake Music

Chorus:
Thank you, thank you, lord, for this life you’ve given me
I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it’s not all misery
And even if it was, well, it wouldn’t be that bad
At least I’ll never look back on a life I never had

Thank you, thank you, lord, for this world in which we live
I couldn’t call it perfect, but these things are relative
There’s beauty in the mountains and there’s beauty in the sea
And there’s beauty out my window when I turn off my TV

Chorus

Thank you, thank you, lord, that I might live one more day
‘Cuz I’d give two to one tomorrow’s better than today
And even if it’s not, I’d still like to stick around
‘Cuz I think I like it here more than I would under the ground

Chorus

Thank you, thank you, lord, for blessing my soul
I haven’t been perfect, but I’m improving as I go
Thank you for this life that I see with second sight
And thank you for the darkness that led me to that light

Chorus
