How Lucky We Are

Been so lonely a long, long time Cannot do it wrong, wrong time So dazed and confused That I feel slightly used From some abuse I sustained long ago… This could have made me go very slow… Not on your life, I go very fast… I want to get there, Don’t want to be last… I was beat like a man by the time I was 5 It is a wonder that I came out alive My grandmother died at the hands of this man It is a cold case file so what’s the plan I could never do what was done to me Wanting my children to be wild and free Live your life freely for you will know To open your eyes and watch the show I lived a life that was not for the meek Scared for my life every day of the week Once it was known what happened to me My mom made it so we could be free She was scared for her life as well you know Now none of that matters we were able to go Holding a knife to his greasy throat She escorted him out to the dirty road How lucky we are to be free I sure am happy to be me My children have children that make me smile Think I will go run the miracle mile
