(uh-huh) I've been grinding so long, been trying this shit for years
(uh-huh) and I got nothing to show, just climbing this rope right here
(uh-huh) and if there's a man upstairs, he kept bringing me rain
(uh-huh) but I've been sending up prayers and something's changed

I think I finally found my hallelujah
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
Now all my dreams are coming true, yeah
I've been waiting for this moment

Feels good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)

(Uh-huh) but I kept throwing on coal tryna make that fire burn
(Uh-huh) sometimes you gotta get scars to get what you deserve
(Uh-huh) I kept moving on and now I'm moving up

I've been waiting for this moment

Pretty good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)

I almost can-, cannot handle it
I could get u-, could get used to this
I almost can-, cannot handle it
I could get u-, could get used to this

I think I finally found my
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, let that bass line move ya, say hey
Pretty good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
