  • I'm so glad I'm standing here today
    There were times
    I remember
    Had to fight just to hold my head up
    Those times when even my friends
    tried to make a fool of me
    there were things that my heart attacked
    that they just couldn't see

    Some said I was hopeless
    ............ tangled in the night
    Strong hearts just keep goin
    That is why I'm still standing here today

    Come together
    raise up your voices
    This time my song of love and life won't go away
    Ill sing forever
    here in the sunshine
    I've lived to see the sun break through the storm
    And I'm so glad I'm standing here today.

    If your lost in your troubles
    And the world just seems to forget you
    If you remember sunshine
    even on your darkest day
    Just follow what your heart says
    And you will find the way

    Some said I was hopeless
    ........... tangled in the night
    Strong hearts just keep goin
    That is why I'm still standing here today

    Come together
    raise up your voices
    This time my song of love and life won't go away
    Ill sing forever
    here in the sunshine
    I've lived to see the sun break through the storm
    And I'm so glad I'm standing here today. Writer/s: JOE SAMPLE, WILL JENNINGS
