Song Description

All the seemingly bad things in life that happened to you have toughened you up and now I'm going to nominate you for an award - for this moment of your life - it's here and it's now.

Lyrics

If you never would have lost it
You never would have found your way
If you never would have left it
You never would have learned to stay

No hesitation
Just get ready for your presentation
'Cause I'm making your nomination
For this moment of your life

If you never got a splinter
You never would have learned to cry
If you never ditched a teacher
You never would have learned to try

No hesitation
Just get ready for your presentation
'Cause I'm making your nomination
For this moment of your life

SOLOS (not there yet - steel/ fiddle)

If you'd never treaded water
You'd never learn to shake it off
If you'd never lost a fortune
You'd never know you have enough

No hesitation
Just get ready for your presentation
'Cause I'm making your nomination
For this moment of your life

The things you have to do without
They give you the faith so that you can work it out
It's not always what you want
That gets you through the day
So I'm thanking you in advance
For sticking it out when you thought there was no chance
Now it's my privilege of presenting your award
What you've been waiting for

No hesitation
Just get ready for your presentation
'Cause I'm making your nomination
For this moment of your life

No hesitation
Just get ready for your presentation
'Cause I'm making your nomination
For this moment of your life
