Every morning I wake up, it's kind of like wow, I don't know what happened or how it happened, I can't put my finger on it, but I'm grateful. I'm grateful to be alive. To spend one more day with my family. One more day to make my dreams become a reality. One more day to help somebody. So the first thought on my mind is, thank you god for another day.
I am so grateful to be alive. It's ridiculous to be alive.
I'm grateful to be alive, because I really did not think I was going to be alive, onstage performing songs.
