Matthew West - Wonderful Life Lyrics

Ron from Houston, Texas Spent three years fightin' ALS If you knew all that he's been through You'd hardly say he's blessed But smilin' through a phone call He said "Let me tell you, friend This life ain't always wonderful But what a wonderful life it's been"

It'll send you flyin' high It'll bring you to your knees It's the heartbreak and the happiness And everything between It's the laugh until it hurts It's the hurt until you cry Can't have one without the other It's how you know that you're alive In this broken and beautiful Gone mad and magical Awfully wonderful life

It's a mountain and a valley It's a cradle and a grave It's a blessing and a battle And it's on any given day It's messy and imperfect It's a thief and it's a gift Yeah, this life ain't always wonderful But what a wonderful life it is

It'll send you flyin' high It'll bring you to your knees It's the heartbreak and the happiness And everything between It's the laugh until it hurts It's the hurt until you cry Can't have one without the other It's how you know that you're alive In this broken and beautiful Gone mad and magical Awfully wonderful life

This wonderful life It's a wonderful life

Ron went home to Jesus Got the call the other day I sat and cried and thought about The words I heard him say I know there is a Heaven Waitin' for us after this This life ain't always wonderful But this life ain't all there is No, this life ain't always wonderful But this life ain't all there is

So let it send you flyin' high Let it bring me to my knees Bring the heartbreak and the happiness And everything between Let me laugh until it hurts Let me hurt until I cry And when it comes my time to go I'll smile and wave goodbye To this broken and beautiful Gone mad and magical Awfully wonderful life

It's a broken and beautiful Gone mad and magical Awfully wonderful life
