This Gift of Life Lyrics

This Gift of Life

I've walked a thousand miles, through the dust and rain

Felt the sun upon my face, and the cold of pain

There were days I stumbled, nights I lost my way

But here I stand, looking back on yesterday

Oh, I'm grateful for the roads I've traveled down

For every rise and fall, for the smile and the frown

I've lived and learned, I've loved and bled

Now with a peaceful heart, I rest my head

It was worth the fight, the joy, the strife

I'm thankful for this gift of life

Mistakes were made, oh, they shaped my soul

Taught me to mend, made the broken whole

The victories were sweet, but the losses too

Each one a lesson, bringing me to you

Oh, I'm grateful for the roads I've traveled down

For every rise and fall, for the smile and the frown

I've lived and learned, I've loved and bled

Now with a peaceful heart, I rest my head

It was worth the fight, the joy, the strife

I'm thankful for this gift of life

Now the silver lines my hair, and the years, they show

But in my heart, there's peace, more than you'll ever know

For the love I gave, and the love I found

I'm home at last, on this hallowed ground

Oh, I'm grateful for the roads I've traveled down

For every rise and fall, for the smile and the frown

I've lived and learned, I've loved and bled

Now with a peaceful heart, I rest my head

It was worth the fight, the joy, the strife

I'm thankful for this gift of life
