The Lucky Ones

We are the lucky ones, we know the truth 
Our daughters and sons just like us in our youth 
Generations before us watch over from above 
They filled us with faith and they showered us with love 
My girl's just like her mama, loves with all her heart 
And my son keeps me smilin' when life seems too hard 
We're lucky that we have their love 
'Cause some can only dream 
So I never take for granted what I know means everything 
We are the lucky ones 
We are the lucky ones 
We are the lucky ones, we know the score 
There's you and there's me and those fools at our door 
They want what we have, but they don't understand 
It's a secret that keeps us still holdin' hands 
We are the lucky ones 
We are the lucky ones 
Time keeps on tickin' while we watch the clock 
We learn from mistakes, yeah we've been around the block 
The way that this cruel world turns some upside down 
It's amazing to me that we're still hangin' 'round 
Strange as it seems 
I live my life like some sweet dream 
One day I'm flying through the air 
Next I'm danglin' by a string 
Tell me, am I walkin' on coals or treadin' on thin ice 
To have a little heaven here on earth 
Well, hell I'll pay the price 
We are the lucky ones 
We are the lucky ones
