who i am today

Lyrics

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, they shaped my life; they made me love who i am today, and i'm so grateful to be here with ya, yes, i'm so stoked to be in arkansas!, 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 traveling on, they shaped my life, they took me down the path 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, i'm so grateful to be here tonight, yes i. yes 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 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.
