Knock me down, but I got up again
I'm standing stronger and I can face the wind
Made it through the night, now it's a brand new day
And it was only by his grace, now I can say
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... I made it, yeah
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... through all the pain, through all the pain, I
They watched me crash and burn, left me to die
It's nothing but the truth when I say I'm alive
A lot of people thought I'd run away
Nah, but I'm right here
Man I'm stronger than I was before because I know that he got me
And I ain't worried about a single thing, man I threw my past behind me
All right ... see I made it through that storm
Even though I messed up and I fell down, I needed help and he pulled me up
Now I'm standing here on higher ground; I got favor, I'm on the clouds
There's no limits, there's no limits; I made it through, what you talkin' 'bout?
When you see me now, I don't look like what I've been through
Only by his grace now I can say that I made it
Knock me down, but I got up again
I'm standing stronger and I can face the wind
Made it through the night, now it's a brand new day
And it was only by his grace, now I can say
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... I made it, yeah
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... through all the pain, through all the pain, I ...
Both sides of the family
Black sheep labeled 'cause nobody wanted me
Tunnel vision of rejection is all I could see
Temporary adoption became the plan for me
But now I'm grown up, a full man
God showed me it was all a part of his plan
I'm grateful my mother didn't abort me
I guess you could say she ain't killed my dreams
I pushed God through the muck of my clay
You can say I lived up to my last name
Don't you be deceived
The person who you see now is not who I used to be
Full of anger, full of pain, and full of misery
The enemy tried to take me out but now I ...
Knock me down, but I got up again
I'm standing stronger and I can face the wind
Made it through the night, now it's a brand new day
And it was only by his grace, now I can say
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... I made it, yeah
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... through all the pain, through all the pain, I
I remember praying "father, am I qualified?"
Filling out them applications for a 9 to 5
Crying, dying at the bottom like the dotted line
Devil tried to kill me but you know the rest, I'm alive
That's the bottom line, guess it wasn't my time to die
Mercy said no no no no no, goodness was my entourage
Man I know I ain't above the law, grace it came and modified
Everything that I deserved, just look at what I survived
Now that I'm on the other side I'm at a loss, everything I did is wiped off the catalog
I ain't got the right to brag man no not at all, all in the name of love like diana ross
I'm still in awe of what he did
And I wrote this song so that I will never forget, I got up again
Knock me down, but I got up again
I'm standing stronger and I can face the wind
Made it through the night, now it's a brand new day
And it was only by his grace, now I can say
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... I made it, yeah
I made it ... I made it
I made it ... through all the pain, through all the pain, I ...
