It's been a hard year to keep our spirits up and even though I know I am lucky, I am not really feeling #blessed. I think a lot of people are feeling that way this year, but I finally am seeing a light on the horizon.

lyrics

V1
I wake up and I get dressed
I'm still here, #blessed
It's another perfect day
At least that's what I'm supposed to say

CH
But I'm just going through the motions
Can't tell one day from the last
Like a ship lost on the ocean
I am getting nowhere fast

V1
It's not all bad, but it's not good
Don't feel the way I think I should
Just take it one day at a time
But the days blur in my mind

CH
I'm just going through the motions
Can't tell one day from the last
Like a ship lost on the ocean
I am getting nowhere fast

V1
Someday soon I hope this will end
Then I'll see you all again
But I am happy to be here
TO make it through another year

CH
I've been going through the motions
I'm sure you all can understand
But like that ship lost on the ocean
I've finally seen a bit of land
