lyrics

Each day is a gift, oh my Lord, such a gift
I look at the clouds in the distance, so epic
Some days there's so much welled up inside me, I feel I could burst
There's so much to build, to create, but what first?

Everything happens for a reason
Everything happens when it's supposed to
Oh my Lord, this life is so beautiful

I watch as my son runs around filled with joy
His sister, she watches and laughs, what a silly boy
Felicia, my wife, oh how beautiful she's become
A woman, a mother, we're not kids anymore

Everything happens for a reason
Everything happens when it's supposed to
Oh my Lord, this life is so beautiful

Thank you Lord for a chance at this life

Everything happens for a reason
Everything happens when it's supposed to
Oh my Lord, this life is so beautiful
