The Living Proof Lyrics
[01:10.49] It's gonna be a long long journey
[01:17.06] It's gonna be an uphill climb
[01:23.63] It's gonna be a tough fight
[01:26.83] There's gonna be some lonely nights
[01:29.55] But I'm ready to carry on
[01:37.98] I'm so glad the worst is over
[01:41.66] ('Cause it almost took me out)
[01:45.40] I can start living now
[01:49.18] Ooh, I feel like I can do anything
[01:57.74] And finally I'm not afraid to breathe
[02:04.67] Anything you say to me
[02:08.11] And everything you do
[02:11.88] You can't deny the truth
[02:14.88] 'Cause I'm the living proof
[02:18.22] So many don't survive
[02:21.67] They just don't make it through
[02:24.90] But look at me, oh
[02:29.05] I'm the living proof
[02:36.34] Oh, yes I am
[02:40.06] Thinkin' 'bout life's been painful
[02:44.37] (Yes it was)
[02:47.18] Took awhile to learn how to smile
[02:53.84] So now I'm gonna talk to my people, o-oh
[03:00.78] About the storm, oh
[03:03.18] About the storm, o-oh
[03:08.28] So glad the worst is over
[03:12.24] ('Cause it's all beneath me now)
[03:15.84] I can start flying now, oh ho
[03:21.39] My best days are right in front of me
[03:26.87] Yet I'm almost there
[03:30.12] 'Cause now I'm free, oh
[03:34.88] Anything you say to me
[03:38.52] And everything you do
[03:42.06] You can't deny the truth
[03:45.50] 'Cause I'm the living proof
[03:49.18] So many don't survive
[03:52.63] They just don't make it through
[03:55.96] But look at me, oh
[03:59.76] I'm the living proof
[04:03.71] I know where I'm going, hey
[04:09.90] 'Cause I know where I've been, o-oh
[04:17.34] I got a few stars that's showin', hey
[04:21.42] I'ma stay strong, keep going (hey)
[04:25.47] That's the way that I'll win
[04:31.03] Anything you say to me
[04:34.23] And everything you do
[04:36.74] (Everything you do)
[04:37.63] You can't deny the truth
[04:41.20] 'Cause I'm the living proof
[04:45.10] So many don't survive
[04:48.30] They just don't make it through
[04:51.76] But look at me, yeah yeah
[04:55.06] I'm the living proof
[05:03.44] Nothing 'bout my life's been easy, no
[05:10.05] But nothing's gonna keep me down, no, down, no
[05:16.55] 'Cause I know a lot more today
[05:19.63] Than I knew yesterday
[05:23.17] So I'm ready to carry on
[05:28.98] Oh Lordy, mmm
[05:32.90]
[01:17.06] It's gonna be an uphill climb
[01:23.63] It's gonna be a tough fight
