  Mmmm
  Hey yea

  Mmm
  Oh no
  Hmmm
    Oooh I'm so happy that I'm
  Livin' my life
  I never knew what I went through
  But hoped everything'd turn out right
  I'm rememberin' the days that I was holdin' my head down
  When people came around I always pretended to smile
  But I knew
  Deep in my heart
  That I was slowly
  Fallin apart
  Some days
  All I wanted
  Was to hold my mother's hand
  And hear her say
  "Baby...
  You're gonna make it"
  Over and over again
  So I
    And I been livin' my life for quite some time
  (Livin' my life)
  And I'm
  So glad I made it this far
  (oh)
  And
  Nothin' honna bring me back down
  And
  Nothin' gonna turn me around
  (turn me around)
    And I been livin' my life for quite some time
  And I'm
  So glad I made it this far
  (so glad)
  And
  Nothin' gonna bring me back down
  And
  Nothin' gonna turn me around
    Don't want nobody to think
  It was easy for me
  It took a while just to get down
  Too many people just didn't believe
  I'm remembering the sacrifices that I had to make
  I would cry myself to sleep and say that it would be ok
  But I knew
  That if I prayed
  That I would be on my way someday
  Some times
  All I wanted
  Was to hear my father say
  He would say
  "Baby...
  You're gonna make it
  And I don't care what people say"
  So I'm
    And I been livin' my life for quite some time
  And I'm
  So glad I made it this far
  And
  Nothin' gonna bring me back down
  (Bring me back down)
  And
  Nothin' gonna turn me around
  (Turn me around)
    And I been livin' my life for quite some time
  And I'm
  So glad I made it this far
  And
  Nothin' gonna bring me back down
  (Bring me back down)
  And
  Nothin' gonna turn me around
  (Turn me around
    Oh I want the world to see
  Everything that's happened to me
  I went from goin' out my mind
  To always on time
  And I am no longer a fool
  Since my days are cold without you
  And I'm so
  (I'm so)
  Happy
