[1st Verse:]
Feels like I'm in heaven
Rollin' my 67
Cadillac DeVille
bumpin' that old Sugar Hill
Today I'm living proof
your worst fear came true
I'm doing alright without you baby
I'm leaving all that darkness behind me
Making changes in my life
So when that sunshine finally finds me
I can stand fully in the light
Spread my wings and reach for sky
I never felt so alive
Kiss my kids goodnight
Tell 'em Daddy's alright I'm alright

[Chorus:]
Honey child there's a whole world waiting on you
Took a while but we finally made it through
Go 'head you can smile now all that darkness' behind you
Smile. Smile. Smile.

[2nd Verse:]
Feels like I've been baptized
almost drowned but I survived
She held me under for 5
years of my life
But today I'm living proof
your worst fear came true
I'm doing alright without you baby yes I am
I'm leaving all those grudges behind me
Throwing fear out the window
So when these blessings come to find me
They will have room to breathe and grow
Let my blessings overflow and get my life under control
So my kids will know, Daddy finally let go
I finally let go

[Chorus/Bridge:]
Blue skies- blue skies are calling you
No more teary eyes- no more crying for you baby
And I don't despise you at all
I thank you for the lessons you have taught me

[Chorus]
