Story of My Life

I flip the pages of the album over and over I do it all from cover to cover I'm looking at when I was younger It just makes me sit down and wonder How we moved from nothing to something How we moved from mourning to laughing It's a journey I'm grateful for, thankful for I couldn't have asked for anything more It is the story of my life The story of my strife We knew we would survive We never felt more alive And even sticks and stones They could not break our bones We knew we would survive We never felt more alive It was long before I started to crawl I saw the cracks all in the wall We staggered when we tried to walk And stammered when we tried to talk How we moved from nothing to something How we moved from mourning to laughing It's a journey I'm grateful for, thankful for I couldn't have asked for anything more It is the story of my life The story of my strife We knew we would survive We never felt more alive And even sticks and stones They could not break our bones We knew we would survive We never felt more alive I see the pictures on the wall Pictures of you, Pictures of me Now the curtains start to fall Peek-a-boo, do you see me It is the story of my life The story of my strife We knew we would survive We never felt more alive And even sticks and stones They could not break our bones We knew we would survive We never felt more alive
