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.
