Lyrics
O Life , the foundation
Every day an education;
A special occasion.
Crazy makin'
Always changin'
You never see it coming
Barefoot I came into this world
to dance with destiny,
to be bold
I've been up.
I've been down.
Still I'm...
So glad I'm here
So glad cause I believe I'm here
to do something good
So glad I'm here
So glad that I hope
I just might be contagious! Yeah!
(uh huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh)
My mother, a singer
My father, a drummer
Something in my genes,
Maybe something in the water
I had to get up
Stand up for the music
Had to make a move
to use it
or I'd lose it
Seems life's been like
building a mansion
with stone walls cut from
a quarry of passion,
a frame for strength
formed with love and skill
using Blues like a hammer
and Funk like a drill
I see red-letter days coming faster!
With fear no longer my master
I can be who I dreamed I can be!
So glad I'm here
So glad to believe I'm here
to do something good
So glad I'm here
To think otherwise
would be outrageous!
Solo
Barefoot I came into this world
To dance with destiny,
to be bold
It's love that put shoes on my feet!
So glad I'm here
So glad I believe I'm here
to do something good
So glad I'm here
With love everything is possible! repeat
So glad I'm here
So glad I believe I'm here
to do something good
So glad I'm here
With love everything is possible! repeat
So glad I'm here
So Glad I'm here...
