The Living Proof Lyrics
It’s gonna be a long long journey
It’s gonna be an uphill climb
It’s gonna be a tough fight
There’s gonna be some lonely nights
But I’m ready to carry on
Iâm so glad the worst is over
(Cuz it almost took me out)
I can start living now
Ooh, I feel like I can do anything
And finally I’m not afraid to breathe
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You canât deny the truth
Cuz Iâm the living proof
So many donât survive
They just donât make it through
But look at me, oh
Iâm the living proof
Oh, yes I am
Thinkin’ ’bout life’s been painful
(Yes it was)
Took awhile to learn how to smile
So now Iâm gonna talk to my people, oh oh
About the storm, oh
About the storm, oh
So glad the worst is over
(Cuz it’s all beneath me now)
I can start flying now, oh ho
My best days are right in front of me
Yet Iâm almost there
Cuz now Iâm free, oh
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You canât deny the truth
Cuz Iâm the living proof
So many donât survive
They just donât make it through
But look at me, oh
Iâm the living proof
I know where Iâm going, oh
Cuz I know where Iâve been, oh oh
I got a few stars that’s showin’
(Hey)
Iâmma stay strong keep going
Thatâs the way that Iâll win
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
(Everything you do)
You canât deny the truth
Cuz I’m the living proof
So many donât survive
They just donât make it through
But look at me, yeah
Iâm the living proof
Nothing âbout my lifeâs been easy
But nothingâs gonna keep me down, no, down, no
Cuz I know a lot more today
And I know yesterday
So Iâm ready to carry on
