Verso 1

Run from Houston Texas
Spent three years fightin' ALS
If you knew all that he's been through
You'd hardly say he's blessed
But smilin' through a phone call
He said Let me tell you friend
This life ain't always wonderful
But what a wonderful life it's been

Coro

It'll send you flyin' high
It'll bring you to your knees
It's the heartbreak and the happiness
And everything between
It's the laugh until it hurts
It's the hurt until you cry
Can't have one without the other
It's how you know that you're alive

Post C

In this broken and beautiful
Gone mad and magical
Awfully wonderful life

Verso 2

It's a mountain and a valley
It's a cradle and a grave
It's a blessing and a battle
And it's on any given day
It's messy and imperfect
It's a thief and it's a gift
Yeah this life ain't always wonderful
But what a wonderful life it is

Coro

It'll send you flyin' high
It'll bring you to your knees
It's the heartbreak and the happiness
And everything between
It's the laugh until it hurts
It's the hurt until you cry
Can't have one without the other
It's how you know that you're alive

Post C

In this broken and beautiful
Gone mad and magical
Awfully wonderful life

Verso 3

Run went home to Jesus
Got the call the other day
I sat and cried and thought about
The words I heard him say
I know there is a Heaven
Waitin' for us after this
This life ain't always wonderful
But this life ain't all there is

Repetir

No this life ain't always wonderful
But this life ain't all there is

Coro

Let it send me flyin' high
Let it bring me to my knees
Bring the heartbreak and the happiness
And everything between
Let me laugh until it hurts
Let me hurt until you cry
And when it comes my time to go
I'll smile and wave goodbye

Post C

To this broken and beautiful
Gone mad and magical
Awfully wonderful life

Post C

It's abroken and beautiful
Gone mad and magical
Awfully wonderful life
