The Living Proof

It's gonna be a long long journey It's gonna be an uphill climb It's gonna be tough fight It's gonna be some lonely nights But I am ready to carry on I am so glad the worst is over ('cause almost took me out) I can start living now I feel like I can do anything And finally I am not afraid to breath Anything you say to me And everything you do You can't deny the truth 'Cause I am the living proof So many don't survive They just don't make it through But look at me I am the living proof Oh yes I am Thinking about life's been painful Yes it was Took a lot to learn how to smile So now I am gonna talk to my people, About the storm, about the storm Oh so glad the worst is over I can start flying now My best days are right in front of me Yeah and I am almost there 'Cause now I am free Anything you say to me And everything you do You can't deny the truth 'Cause I'm the living proof So many don't survive They just don't make it through But look at me I am the living proof I know where I am going Hey 'cause I know where I've been I am gonna feel strong that's showing I am gonna keep going That's the way that I will Anything you say to me And everything you do You can't deny the truth 'Cause I'm the living proof So many those who fight They just don't make it through But look at me hey yeah I am the living proof Nothing about my life has been easy But nothing's gonna keep me down 'Cause I know a lot more today Than I knew yesterday So I am ready to carry on Oh Lordie --- The Living Proof - Mary J.
