GEORGE BAILEY
It's been three years almost since I walked across this bridge
that night I found myself toeing along the edge
thinking maybe this would be the way I'd take my life
knowing something must change soon
I thought it would be that night
But as I looked down to the cars below, something changed my mind
was it fear or bravery or a power of a different kind
was it fear or bravery or a power of a different kind?
CHORUS
Now I'm a little bit older a whole lot wiser glad to be alive
feeling like old George Bailey...what a wonderful life

I still remember how the night air felt as it raced across my face
how the burn of the cold in my cheeks was the only feeling to trace
I stood there, threw up my arms, eyes closed and crying
thinking about the easy way out, about giving up giving up and dying
CHORUS
Now I'm standing here on this bridge, heart and soul revised
there's new blood pumping through my veins and eyes open wide
cause I'm happy now I'm lucky, thankful I'm alive
I'm happy, I'm lucky to be alive
CHORUS X 2
