[Verse 1]
Looking back at the years
I know where I've been, know where I'm going
Hope to see a brighter day
I kept on running, never looked back
One step forward, three steps back
Tried to get away but the roads had a hold on me
They say everything happens for a reason
Kicked out my school with no education
Rob a man's chain with no hesitation
Time after time it was like broke season
[Chorus]
I've come a long way, changed my old ways
Had my fair share of ups and downs
I left the roadside on the roadside
If you see there, I'm just passing through
I lost a few friends to reckless driving
I lost a few friends to redrum (murder)
I thank the lord daily
Still I'm standing
I'm blessed to see another day
[Verse 2]
It's never too late to change
I will try to better myself
Easy to be led astray
I kept on running, never looked back
One step forward, three steps back
Tried to get away but the roads had a hold on me
They say everything happens for a reason
Kicked out my school with no education
Rob a man's chain with no hesitation
Time after time it was like broke season
[Chorus]
I've come a long way, changed my old ways
Had my fair share of ups and downs
I left the roadside on the roadside
If you see there, I'm just passing through
I lost a few friends to reckless driving
I lost a few friends to redrum (murder)
I thank the lord daily
Still I'm standing
I'm blessed to see another day
[Bridge]
I'm blessed to see another day
I thank the lord everyday
I'm blessed to see another day
I thank the lord everyday
We're blessed to see another day
You should thank the lord everyday
We're blessed to see another day
[Chorus]
I've come a long way, changed my old ways
Had my fair share of ups and downs
I left the roadside on the roadside
If you see there, I'm just passing through
I lost a few friends to reckless driving
I lost a few friends to redrum (murder)
I thank the lord daily
Still I'm standing
I'm blessed to see another day
