| I see the child in your frame |
| Wish I could tell him you're not your mistakes |
| If God gives you something you don't think you want |
| Don't you forget just how lucky you are |
|
| Can't catch the tears from your eyes |
| Daddy might not make it home every night |
| I'm always with you, no matter how far |
| Don't you forget just how lucky you are |
|
| Ooh |
| Even the bad times might make you laugh |
| Ooh |
| Live every day like it might be your last |
| You'll be alright |
| It'll be alright |
|
| I know it feels like a dream |
| Faking a smile while you rip at the seams |
| No way to measure the pain in your heart |
| But don't you forget just how lucky you are |
|
| Ooh |
| Even the bad times might make you laugh, yeah |
| Ooh |
| Live every day like it might be your last |
| You'll be alright |
| It'll be alright |
|
| It'll be alright, alright |
|
| Flowers don't grow in the dark |
| You can't make a wish without looking at stars |
| With all of the bruises and all of the scars |
| Don't you forget just how lucky you are |
| I won't forget just how lucky we are |
