[Verse 1]

The other day I got an email, I almost didn't read it

But something caught my eye right before I could delete it

It was bold and underlined, "please read" was the title

Followed by "jake you are my idol"

It said and I quote, my name is nikki and I used to be dancer

Til the day the doctor diagnosed me with cancer

So I said goodbye to all the hair on head

And said hello to my hospital bed

Yeah see I was just a normal girl, it happened so fast

There were so many days that I thought would be my last

However the fight was tough, and the battle was long

But I felt strong when I listened to your songs

You were, always there for me, you helped my heart beat

You were my only friend, kept you on repeat

I thank god for you every single night

Cause believe or not, you saved my life.

[Hook]

I've met a million people, been a million places

Shook a million hands, seen a million faces

I've had a million lows, and a million more highs

No I havent made a million, but I've touched a million lives

I've met a million people, been a million places

Shook a million hands, seen a million faces

I've had a million lows, and a million more highs

No I havent made a million, but I, but I

[Verse 2]

Yeah the mailman knocked said it was for me

Handed me a box, sent from tennessee

Written on the top "for jakes eyes only"

Inside was a journal and letter that he wrote me

It said my name is dillon I'm in 7th grade

I'm ridiculed and picked on almost everyday

Yeah they push me in the halls in between my classes

Yesterday they took my books then broke my glasses

I got no one to talk to, it's like I don't exsist

Sometimes I wonder if I was gone, would I be missed?

But lemme tell the real reason for this letter

You've helped me through it all, you've help me feel better

You're words gimme confidence, your messages inspire me

You help me find my inner strength deep inside me

Through all the bad times, you helped me find the light

Believe or not, you saved my life.

[Hook]

I've met a million people, been a million places

Shook a million hands, seen a million faces

I've had a million lows, and a million more highs

No I havent made a million, but I've touched a million lives

I've met a million people, been a million places

Shook a million hands, seen a million faces

I've had a million lows, and a million more highs

No I havent made a million, but I, but I

[Verse 3]

I was sittin at my table at dinner the other night

When I noticed a little girl sittin to my right

She was lookin at me like she knew me, I guess she did

Cause then she walked right up to, and then she said

My name is sami and I swear that I'm your biggest fan

I think she even had my name written on her hand

She said me my brother used to listen to you every day

Until last year, when he passed away

I'll never forget seein my parents cry

When they got a call sayin that your son had died

Man I wish that he was here now, you were his favorite

He had your mixtape and never stopped playin it

Your music gives me a feelin that I just can't desrcribe

It's like I got my brother back, and hes still alive

I pray for both of you, every single night

Cause believe or not, you saved my life.

[Hook]

I've met a million people, been a million places

Shook a million hands, seen a million faces

I've had a million lows, and a million more highs

No I havent made a million, but I've touched a million lives

I've met a million people, been a million places

Shook a million hands, seen a million faces

I've had a million lows, and a million more highs

No I havent made a million, but I, but I

Now lemme turn the table, and talk to you

I had a dream but your the reason that it's comin true

Yeah I've had some dark days, when the sun don't shine

But you always reminded me that I would be fine

Cause when no else cared, you believed in my vision

And now I got an army comin with me on my mission

I thank god for all you, every single night

Cause believe or not, you saved my life.
