I love the fact I'm better than I've ever been And been to every place I've ever said I've been I'm grateful that I finally found my peace within A shelter from the storm And it helps me keep my calm I love that I am free like the breeze I escape through the trees As I breathe in the world around me Floating like a leaf on the sea So at ease, I release all my fears As the waves surround me I used to think that fate would have the upper hand And maybe if I wait then I would understand And maybe if I worked a little more And went to church a little more Then I would finally be a godly man But that's as sure as building castles on the sand They seem stand until they face a trial And then they're washed away On some days I felt like I had the strongest faith And other times I just ain't talk to God for days That's why I'm grateful for the waves Every storm, every cloud, every trial, every day And sometimes I'm just so amazed I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way That's why I'm grateful for the waves Every storm, every cloud, every trial, every day And sometimes I'm just so amazed I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way I love the fact I'm better than I've ever been And been to every place I've ever said I've been I'm grateful that I finally found my peace within A shelter from the storm And it helps me keep my calm I love that I am free like the breeze I escape through the trees As I breathe in the world around me Floating like a leaf on the sea So at ease, I release all my fears As the waves surround me That's why I'm grateful for the waves Every storm, every cloud, every trial, every day And sometimes I'm just so amazed I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way That's why I'm grateful for the waves Every storm, every cloud, every trial, every day And sometimes I'm just so amazed I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way I ain't quit, I ain't drown, I ain't even lose my way
