who i am today

Jason Mraz

I thank the boys who kicked my ass when I was 17
I thank the ones who chose to laugh and those who acted mean
I thank the bullies for body slams and accidents and then some
They shaped my life; they made me like who I've become

I thank the girls who gave a hand and showed me how to dance
I thank the ones who passed who never gave a second glance
I learned that it's okay for some to go and some to stay
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today
And yes I know the life is good

I thank the captains of the boats who brave the sea
I thank the farmers for the sowing of the seeds
I thank the men who paved the roads I'm travelling on
They shaped my life, they took me down the paths I've gone

I thank the volunteers for giving up their time for free
I thank the engineers; all those who keep our water clean
I thank the janitors for all their years behind the scenes
They shaped my life they taught me generosity
They shaped my life they let me see who I could be

So I... I know the life is good

I thank the galaxy for how we're made of gravity.
I thank the sky above for hosting clouds to float on top of me.
They gave me air to breathe, they give me rain, they give me snow.
They shaped my life; they gave me so much room to grow

I thank the frogs and that lonelies ants and bees
I thank the micro organisms under every tree
I thank the fertil soil for the life behind the food i eat
They shaped my life, they gave me possibility

And I.. I know the life is good
Yes I... I Know

Thank the boys who kicked my ass when I was 17
I thank the ones who chose to laugh and those who acted mean
I thank the bullies for all the names they called along the way
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today

You shape my life. You make me love who I am today.
