I flip the pages of the album over and over
I do it all from cover to cover
I'm looking at when I was younger
It just makes me sit down and wonder
How we moved from nothing to something
How we moved from mourning to laughing
It's a journey I'm grateful for, thankful for
I couldn't have asked for anything more
It is the story of my life
The story of my strife
We knew we would survive
We never felt more alive
And even sticks and stones
They could not break our bones
We knew we would survive
We never felt more alive
It was long before I started to crawl
I saw the cracks all in the wall
We staggered when we tried to walk
And stammered when we tried to talk
How we moved from nothing to something
How we moved from mourning to laughing
It's a journey I'm grateful for, thankful for
I couldn't have asked for anything more
It is the story of my life
The story of my strife
We knew we would survive
We never felt more alive
And even sticks and stones
They could not break our bones
We knew we would survive
We never felt more alive
I see the pictures on the wall
Pictures of you, Pictures of me
Now the curtains start to fall
Peek-a-boo, do you see me
I see the pictures on the wall
Pictures of you, Pictures of me
Now the curtains start to fall
Peek-a-boo, do you see me
It is the story of my life
The story of my strife
We knew we would survive
We never felt more alive
And even sticks and stones
They could not break our bones
We knew we would survive
We never felt more alive
We never felt more alive
