As I turn out the light and bow my head to pray
The answered prayer I'm thankful for
Is I made it through today

Well her leavin' took its toll on me
And it took a lot of faith
To find the strength to carry on
But I made it through today

Oh I was guilty of takin' her heart for granted
Lettin' love slip through my hands
'Til I was empty-handed
And now I know how much I have and I ain't gonna lose it
'Cause I've been given a second chance
And I intend to use it

I'm not tryin' to change the world
I'm just tryin' to find my way
And I still stumble now and then
But I made it through today

Whoa I was guilty of takin' this life for granted
Lettin' time slip through my hands
'Til I was empty-handed
Now I know how much I have and I ain't gonna lose it
'Cause I've been given a second chance
And I intend to use it

As I turn out the light and bow my head to pray
The answered prayer I'm thankful for
Is I made it through today
Mmm-mmm I made it through today
Mmm-mmm I made it through today
Mm-hmm mm-hmm
