But today I'm livin' proof
Almost drowned but I survived
Your worst fear came true
Honey child there's a whole world waitin' on you
Your worst fear came true
I'm doin' alright without you, baby
I thank you for the lessons you have taught me, oh, oh, yeah
I'm doin' alright without you, yeah
I thank you for the lessons you have taught me
So my kids will know
Go 'head you can smile now, all that darkness' behind you
Years of my life
Spread my wings an' reach for sky
She held me under for 5
So when that sunshine finally finds me
An' get my life under control
I'm leavin' all that darkness behind me
Took a while but I finally made it through
No more teary eyes, full steam ahead now
Kiss my kids goodnight
Daddy finally let go, I finally let go
Let my blessings overflow
An' I don't despise you at all
Smile, smile, smile
Took a while but I finally made it through
Go 'head you can smile now, all that darkness' behind you
Yes, I am
So when these blessings come to find me
I never felt so alive
Makin' changes in my life
Blue skies, blue skies are callin' you
Throwin' fear out the window
No more teary eyes, no cryin' for you, baby
Honey child there's a whole world waitin' on you
I can stand fully in the light
Blue skies, oh, they clear an' blue
Bumpin' that old Sugar Hill
Go 'head, you can smile now, all that darkness' behind you
Today I'm livin' proof
I'm leavin' all those grudges behind me
An' I don't despise you at all
Took a while but I finally made it through
They will have room to breathe an' grow
Tell 'em Daddy's alright, I'm alright now
Cadillac DeVille
Smile, smile, smile
Honey child there's a whole world waitin' on you
I'm doin' just fine
Feels like I've been baptized
